MC….my 17 year old daughter. She’s so much like me it’s scary:
“Mom, can I have one of those protein bars you bought?”
“No. They are for your brother.”
“What? What do you mean? Why can’t I HAVE one? That’s not fair!”
“They are expensive and he needs them after his workouts. They are for people who work out intensely.”
((about a half hour later….I hear the treadmill going. And going. Then…up the stairs comes MC. Out of breath))
“Mom? Can I have one of those protein bars now?”
“No. I told you they were for your brother.”
“But….I just ran on the treadmill. I ran like 6 minutes! I think I need one of those protein bars.”
“Nice try.”
“Uhhhhh! You mean I just ran all that time for NOTHING?”
I'm Sheila. In addition to raising 1 husband and 3 teens, I've founded 
ha. but he ran…come on mom!

That’s so funny. Reminds me of my little one trying to con me into giving him special bars I buy for his brother who’s diabetic. Apparently they are very tasty.

At least she still wanted a protein bar…I used to go eat mint chip ice cream. I like her logic!

Did you tell her that those 6 minutes on the treadmill are only 30 calories?

LOL that’s pretty funny. I don’t know why those damn bars are so expensive and candy bars are so cheap, instead of taxing candy and soda more to fight obesity they should figure out how to make health food cheaper.
