My son ate an entire pumpkin pie for breakfast. |
|
Well, at least it's a vegetable of some sort.

I don't understand how boys eat like monsters. I once witnessed my ex-gf's son (15yo) eat two grilled cheeses, 1 large can of soup, a whole box of chicken nuggets, and 4 donuts for lunch. We were quite disturbed by this scene, to say the least.

24. I could have done that easily at age 14 |
|
When I was 13 I ate about 4 pounds of turkey meat at Thanksgiving.

29. I can't get over how much he eats lately. |
|
He'll come home from school, order a pizza and consume the entire thing while he's doing his homework.
Then, he'll have a snack around 4 and start bugging me about 5:30 to start dinner because he's hungry.
It's amazing.

5. Well, I made two last night, so if he doesn't finish off the second |
|
one for a snack, he'll probably eat that one for breakfast tomorrow.
I couldn't believe it when I went downstairs this morning. The entire thing. Gone.

30. Me. If it didn't have cartoon characters in it, chances are real |

good I didn't see it.
I have about 20 DVDs that I've purchased from Costco that I want to watch; they're not even unwrapped yet.

35. Perhaps not so unfortunately, once you read this... |
|
Okay, in the movie "American Pie," one of the boys is told that having sex with a woman feels like warm apple pie. So the guy goes home, sees a warm apple pie on the counter and...err...violates the pie. And then his dad walks in and they decide they're just going to tell the mom that they ate it all.

12. When I was a teen it was a running joke |
|
how much food I would eat at a meal. I was stick-thin and I never stopped eating. I was always hungry.
My standard weekend breakfast was a 6 egg omlett with onions, garlic and 3 different types of cheese in it, an over-full bowl of cereal, and at least half a gallon of milk.
Then three hours later I'd have 5 PBJ sandwiches for my first lunch.
:P

15. We used to call those huge bowls of cereal Jethro Bowls.... |
|
:rofl: My brother could polish off two HUGE Jethro Bowls of cereal (usually amounted to a whole box of cereal and AT LEAST a half gallon of milk if not a whole one) in one sitting. :yoiks: I was just sure Granny Clampett was gonna come running around the corner and hit him with her wooden spoon...
Instead, Mom read him the Riot Act for polishing off the groceries she had just bought. :P

We were eating government surplus food, and here I was eating us out of house and home. :(
And there were two of us. I have a twin brother. I have no idea how our mom managed to get enough food for us. I think she worked her second job just to pay for food, and we both worked to pay for our own junk food.
Wow, things look so different when you look back from a distance of years. :P
Single Mothers rock!

I love pumpkin pie. But, I can't handle two zillion fat grams and calories at once any more. My family always makes me a pumpkin pie instead of a cake for my birthday.
Going to the Highlands Games this weekend, by any chance?

43. Doubt it. We're probably heading out to Chippokes for the |

Plantation Christmas Fair. We go every year. I love it. Great food, great crafts, (real artisans, not that doll made out of an Ivory soap bottle crap) and the setting is beautiful.
That is, if the teenager doesn't have driver's ed. :eyes:

21. When I was a teenager, two Big Macs, fries and a coke was my normal |
|
order at McDonald's. If I was still hungry after that, I would order another Big Mac!!
My snack at night while I was watching tv was usually two ham and cheese sandwiches....I ate this almost every night.
One day our high school football team went to the lunch buffet at Pizza Hut...one of the guys on the team at 26 pieces of pizza!! He didn't eat the crust, but still -- that's a lot of food!!
We were all thin as rails, also.

Back when I would eat that junk I would get six cheeseburgers and 3 x-large fries for a typical lunch.
I have no idea how I survived. And I was skinny too. We're all lucky to survive our teens. :silly:

31. My brother ate a ton in high school too. |
|
If my dad made hamburgers on the grill, my brother would eat two or three with cheese, and then follow it up with a big serving bowl of spaghetti.
He ate ice cream and cereal out of serving bowls too.
He was always tall and skinny in those days.

But at least it's got beta carotene in it.

It's funny when I was a kid I would only eat green veggies nothing orange. Now I love pumkin (particularly in pie form) and squash. But I still like my greens too.
