Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 19, 2009

Typical kid. He hates it, yet he doesn’t even know what it is.

Tie him to a chair?

Telling him ‘tortellini’ was mom’s big mistake….if she had said ‘bat brains’ he would be begging for second helpings.

“You will eat it and like it”.

Do you mean Ozzie O Grazer?

Kinda reminds me about myself…

Kinda reminds me about my daughter, who is only 11 months…where do they learn to do these things?

What do you call a tortoise with its left legs shorter than its right ones? TORTELLINI

Man, tortellini is the best!

LOL!!!

Calvins face in the second picture!

Tortellini

He should be looking in a cook book, not the dictionary!! LOL

If Calvin actually knew what tortellini is, he could give a much more convincing performance.

iowa, are you thinking deja vu’ all over again? :=/

I had a foster daughter like Calvin. After teaching her for several weeks, dinner would go like this:

“I don’t like tortellini.”

“Yes, you do.”

“I do?”

“Yep.”

“Okay.” [takes a bite.] “Hey, this is really good!”

“Told you so.”

If you want tortellini soup, I left a nice pot over at Pibgorn’s couch of confusion. Enjoy! (Yum!)

Oh Calvin, you can’t eat any better than Italian! Just ask me, I’m Italian, on my mother’s side 100%.

I wasn’t sure what it was either so I looked it up. Looks pretty good and versatile, you can make it in different ways.

Trying to validate a suspicion Calvin ???

totellini … don’t worry, Calvin, it takes like chicken. Everything always tastes like chicken.

Oh, I love tortellini! It is Italian pasta! Mmmm, Yummy! Calvin, I am on your mommy’s side and she definitely cooks and makes the tortellini for supper! So be it! Get used to that and eat! It is so delish!

You’ll eat what is on your plate or you won’t eat at all. That’s what we always heard. Most of the time it was really good. I also love tortellini!!!

Contempt prior to investigation

We’ve got ten kids. Half are picky. We discovered a long time ago the value of creative naming.

Gopher Guts Chicken breast mixed with a cream cheese filling, inside a rolled out biscuit turnover

Monkey Heads–Stuffed peppers ( I think we got it from C&H!)

Martian Stew–Green mac and cheese with vegetables and some cream of mushroom soup mixed in.

These are all real recipes in our family.

have an indiana jones and the temple of doom dinner: live snakes, large roasted beetles, eyeball soup, and for desert, chilled monkey brains!

Calvin is obviously a proponent of tort reform…

It is typical. People always assume the worst of things they don’t know.

My brother was just like that too. If he said he didn’t like something, my mom would point out the falacious fact that he had alriedy tried it and it was his favourite food. He bought it every time.

My youngest is JUST like this!!!

I had a bowl of spinach tortellini soup today. YUM!

Yup! If I don’t know what it is how can I like it?

No, but I once stared at cold brussel sprouts for several hours while my friends played outside. Mom’s other favorite was to put whatever you didn’t want to eat back out on your plate the next night.

i happend to greatly enjoy tortellini!!! Boo calvin!!

Hmm…What IS tortellini?

Shoot first, aim second

Speak before you Think

Ready Shoot, Aim

They’re little bits of pasta stuffed with cheese, meat, sauce and spices. They’re one of the tastiest foods Italy has to offer.

How does Calvin know how to spell Tortellini? He can’t even spell cat
