The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 06, 2022

Good things come to those who wait.

Avoiding his homework.

But Gladys…he’s a growing boy….growing outward that is! ;D

What? And skip your pre-dinner snack?

after dinner he’ll be waiting for supper…

This I suppose was intended to be a joke, but if I remember my high school days, twenty minutes after eating a snack for a growing boy is about the right length of time when you begin to feel hungry again.

Go do your homework.

might as well, considering it’s in about a few minutes or close to it anyways.

In middle school, my after school snack was a cup of coffee with my mom

Normally a PB&J for me before homework then chores.

You and me both, kid!

Coffee would be better than gin

Cue Carly Simon: “Anticipation….Is keeping me waiting”.

My mom didn’t offer after school snacks. I had to wait until dinner, which wasn’t until 6p. We played outside after school until dinner time.

Being on time is important!

Dieters know just how you feel Wilberforce…

I was quite fortunate as a kid. In middle school my family owned a restaurant. My bus stop at the end of the school day was at the restaurant. That hour was between lunch and dinner, so the place was quiet. I’d sneak into the kitchen. So much more satisfying than our home kitchen.

Wilberforce needs to go out and play so he can work up his appetite.

Hey. When you are hungry, you’re hungry and a snack sometimes isn’t enough. However, life’s tough Wilberforce. Better learn while you’re young….

Nobody missed any meals in this household.

Healthy lunches can cause hunger pains. Besides, the brain uses most of the energy.
