Nathan's dinner last night

We go out for lunch every Sunday after church. Since we are usually full for the rest of the day we eat very little for dinner...a bowl of cereal, a sandwich, etc. And since everyone gets hungry at a different time we all just go get what we want when we want.

Well, last night my 11 yr. old son went in the kitchen to get something. I just assumed he was making a sandwich or something. I sat down to watch tv with my husband and forgot all about it. I thought he had finished and gone upstairs. NOPE! My husband went into the kitchen and I hear, "Come here, you've got to see this!" This is what I found...

Nathan's explanation: "I came in here to eat a bowl of cereal. After I did that, I found the chips, pretzels, and goldfish in the pantry so I ate those. Then, I thought this is NOT healthy! So, I got some yogurt and peanuts."

(The peanuts were honey roasted too, so I'm not sure how healthy that really was!)

I must say, I like his reasoning...pig out on a bunch of junk food and then to counter the unhealthiness of it, just eat some yogurt and peanuts!! Oh, if only that really worked!!
