Over at Eating the Daisies, stay-at-home-mom Kate has established a meal policy to keep her two sons under control. It’s a cute idea, but surprisingly practical. Also, really fun. Check it out:
Meal Policy
- There will be one common dinner provided for all lodgers each night.
- You will eat it.
- We do not care if you do not like tomatoes.
- If you finish everything on your plate, you will get dessert.
- If, after tasting the dinner you cannot choke it down, you may (a) make yourself some toast or (b) try your luck at the neighbor’s; either way, dessert is off the cards.
- There will be no food or drink (other than water) issued once you have brushed your teeth; therefore, we would recommend eating a second serve – tomatoes or no tomatoes – at dinner time.
- Snacks will be available throughout the day.
- ‘Snacks’ are defined as: fruit, nuts and carrot sticks.
- If you really are starving, you will eat them.
Any complaints, comments or concerns should be put in writing and deposited in the container provided:
Signed,
The Management
p.s. Management loves you. xoxoxo
