Food

 


I live with a 5 year old food-consuming creature…


This morning it wolfed down 2 pieces of toast, 1 1/2 pears, and a healthy chunk of my favorite monteray jack cheese.


Yesterday, it dined on a huge bowl of noodles, followed by a generous serving of brocolli and a mountain of chicken nuggets.


After all this, it proceeded to inhale two bowls of ice-cream, 4 cookies, and an apple. Later that very same evening, the creature announced, upon getting ready for bed, that it was “still hungry”. I gasped, looked over my rapidly shrinking refrigerator inventory and apologetically produced another pear, offered up the rest of the monteray jack, and poured a cup of milk. These the creature happily consumed and then went off to bed.


Stunned, I am contemplating getting an extra refrigerator for the basement, and ordering certain provisions in bulk.


And this creature is only 5 years old. What does the future hold?
