Aunt needs help in the garden from someone with some muscles. 19-year-old nephew is college student perpetually in need of funds. He comes over early to get a good start.
Aunt: "Do you want some breakfast? How about some scrambled eggs? How many do you want"
Nephew: "How many do you have?"
Aunt: "Er, six?"
Nephew: "Great...thanks!"
What?
So nephew eats six -- yes six -- eggs and a veritable mountain of various other breakfast foods, then worked like two horses for the rest of the morning. Aunt pays generously, remembering when she was a broke college student.
New garden beds shaping up nicely.
Hahahaha! Boys CAN and WILL eat you out of house and home although I must say, the only "person" I've ever known to eat more than 6 eggs was Gaston in "Beauty and the Beast"!!! lol
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the grocery bills. But I made sure to send him home with a fresh-baked loaf of cinnamon-raisin bread. Must make a note to set aside goodies for him in my weekly cooking.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much they eat! A lucky boy to have an aunt who likes to cook...
ReplyDeleteLOL I just love it. It works out well for everyone involved :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I notice my son eating like a horse already! Soon he'll be up to two horses!
Colette -- I don't know how parents feed these teen boy types. I don't know where he's putting it all. The boy is tall, but not at all heavy (very fit).
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, I am lucky to have him, that's for sure. He just dropped off some bags of leaves he raked from other people's yards -- free mulch for my winter beds! I win!
My grandkids can eat like a horse and they never gain a pound! Go figure! :-)
ReplyDeleteGod Bless :-)

Ron, I can only imagine (with envy) what their metabolism is...
ReplyDeleteWell it's not a boy thing for sure. My youngest girl eats like that, and her energy is beyond me. What can we do huh?
ReplyDeletewow, Salma! I thought it was a boy thing for sure. Nothing else to do, just gotta love 'em and feed 'em up.
