Prompts = Family, Predication, Famished
Tommy, my erstwhile teenage eating machine, had repeated growth spurts, apparently fuelled by continual raids on the kitchen. I sat him down to explain how it was inappropriate to eat at all hours.
“But I’m famished!”, he declared in his defence.
“That’s as may be, but we as a family require daily sustenance and meal planning is predicated upon the reasonable assumption that the necessary ingredients are available when required.”
“Yeah? But I’m hungry!”
Sadly, that was the most productive part of the conversation.
A solution was reached, however, when a separate pantry was created for his use.
Problem solved.
