For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 17, 2013

can’t be a party without food

Yeah, “food” is definitely the magic word, especially where boys are concerned!

Shoulda had those ready earlier. not like they can’t handle re-heated food. :)

Incoming!Just wait until they’re teenagers…

My friends boys are 8 and 4 and already eat her out of house and home. For the record both are VERY active, and in no way could they EVER be considered overweight.

Never say that word around boys, Elly!

Where’s Deanna?

are there men like that???

Well, at least they’re sitting quietly.For now.

Shouldn’t that be a red rose?

Yes, it is true, from about 11 to about 19 my son was a bottomlesss pit. He would have a snack before supper, consisiting of a fair sized sandwich (a la Dagwood) and then have supper and then about two hours later a snack during studying, and a snack after… Even if I cooked with the thought of having the leftovers for next day’s supper, like a tuna casserole, or a lazagna, he would finish 3/4 of the dish so he would have the small leftover portion for his school lunch the next day… He drank milk by the gallon. We used to buy about 10 a week…He never cared for snack type of foods, like chips, or soda pop, even today… He doesn’t eat like that anymore. He was always into sports and all kinds of fitness, and never got overweight. We used to buy about 250 lbs of potatoes, and 100 lbs of onions, from a farmer to last us the winter, and we bought apples and pears by the bushel. Not anymore, now that it is only my husband & I at home, we sure spend a lot less on food, to say the least…

Gee, thanks for sharing that!

That was reckless …

I bet John was happy he wasn’t stampeded.

I had a cat who understood the word food.

I can’t believe she said, “play quietly” at a party for pre-teen boys….whazz up with that!!!! It is a party, the words play and quietly do not fit the situation…. duh!

You shouldn’t mention food in front of 9 year-olds!
