Poor, Starving Children

"Please, Mom, can I have something to eat?"

"Oh, I guess. You can eat the miniscule pieces of cheese that are left in the front of the grater."

You would think after going to all this trouble, she might actually eat some of her dinner. But you would have another think coming. Because dinner involved things, like pasta and cheese sauce, that might have some unknown poison in them. Better to just eat half a banana and hope breakfast would be better. It was -- waffles are safe.

And today, I found Kellen scrounging in the fridge for some (thankfully cooked) chicken that I was thawing for dinner. He looked guiltily at me and said the "bacon" was "just for decoration." But there is a big blank spot in the bowl.

. . . and uncooked cookie dough is ALWAYS better than the finished product, no matter how many raw cracked eggs it has in it. I'm sure K (AKA Uri-nal) will point that out to you! This stuff just cracks me up!
