    When your kid tells you he’s VERY HUNGRY and you do this wonderful meal, and he takes 2 bites and says he’s full 🤬. At that moment, those 2ms after he says that, you really hate that little fucker’s guts.

      We had to feed next door’s kid one day because of some family emergency.

      “How many fish fingers do you want?”

      “Two”

      Sits down, eats one.

      “You said you wanted two…”

      “I only ever eat one but my mum always puts two out because she thinks it looks mean if she only gives me one.”

        Yep, same reason. You always make like A LOT extra… in case he/she wants some more… in reality, you become a cold meal expert when you’re a parrent.

          I got chickens. It’s great because I couldn’t throw food away, they are happy to complement their diet with whatever the babies drop or don’t eat, and I feel good as it keeps the chooks happy and it contributes to making eggs! Win win.

            Yeah, I live in a building though… and have parrots. It’s not like I could give that to the parrots, they’re fairly small.

            But a neighbour has a dog and I try to give him leftovers from time to time. I really don’t like throwing food away or letting it rot. I am fortunate enough that I can afford that meal, not everyone is as lucky as me.

        The second one is to keep the cat distracted long enough that you can eat the first one.
