The Seven Deadly Sins

Me: What do you guys want to eat?

Jackson: I'm not really hungry, but I'll eat.

Me: You know that if you are not hungry you shouldn't eat, number one, it's not good for you, number two, it's one of the seven deadly sins.

Jackson: What's that?

Me: Well, gluttony, that is when you eat too much, like when you're not hungry, but you eat anyways, it's wasteful and called gluttony. God doesn't like it.

Jackson: ....oh...



Insert time lapse music here.....


Me: Jackson, you want some cream of wheat for breakfast?

Jackson: Yeah, oh, but wait, I'm not really hungry?

Me: (Oh crap! What have a I done?!) Jackson, it's okay, you HAVE to eat breakfast, lunch and supper and a snack in between. It's required.

Jackson with a pack of licorice at about 9 p.m., looking happy and excited: Mom, look how about.....(look of sadness and worry coming over his face) oh wait...I'm not hungry though....

Me: JACKSON! IT'S OKAY, WE CAN HAVE A PIECE OF LICORICE!


Bless his heart!
