Bon appetit

Jamie Lightner

So I came to 2 realizations the other day while sweeping the kitchen floor. One is, I figured out why my kids are so skinny…they are missing their mouth. Two, I figured out how to get one more meal out of the budget without spending any more money…just take the 3 course meal I sweep up off the floor and dish it onto their plates. Seriously, I have heard that famous sarcastic question, “ Do you have a hole in your mouth?” And I gotta say, I am thinking my kids might really have this serious medical condition. I must admit my fist instinct is to get frustrated but I really have been trying to find the silver lining and these are what I have come up with so far. If a kid gets hungry later all they have to do is touch their toes to find a snack, it’s quick while promoting flexibility at the same time. Probably won’t have to worry about obesity or cutting back on the junk food since only half of it seems to be successfully making it into their face. How’s that for portion control? And if I forget to cook dinner, no problem, after a 5 minute sweep of the floor, wa-la, and dynamic casserole made up of a variety of items. Yup, the more I talk about it the more I am convinced I don’t have a “PROBLEM” on my hands, I have a solution to so many issues. Bon-appetite’.
