CLEAN PLAT ER



Granma is a "clean plat er".  God bless her.  She'll eat everything on her plate. Everything.  My dad made us eat everything on our plates when we were kids.  I think I know where he got it from....Graaaaaaaaama Marcie.  She's the one.  It's all her fault.  All those nights sitting at the table until my plate was clean.  I hated green peas, ham, and brussel sprouts.  Oh gag me with a spoon.  To even think about brussel sprouts, makes me tremble. But about Granma Marcie.  She not only eats everything on her plate, she'll anything I put on her plate.  Today she had cottage cheese and peaches on one plate, the other plate had sardines in a cream sauce with crackers on the side, and of course a glass of milk    Open the mouth and past the gums......look out stomach, here it comes.

I don't put a whole lot on her plate.  Just small portions, then if she wants more she can have more.  But usually she won't take seconds. She accuses me of trying to make her fat.  That's what she's saying here.  "I don't want to get too fat now" 

 Okay Granma, but how 'bout some dessert?" 

To which she always says "Okay"
