Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for December 29, 2020
Transcript:
Cathy: Why are we eating more nut bread, mother? Mom: We don't want to hurt Aunt Rena's feelings. Cathy: Aunt Rena lives in another state! She won't know if we don't eat it! Mom: But WE'LL know! Character isn't measured by how we behave when someone's watching, but by what we do when we're alone! Cathy: IT ISN'T WEIGHT! IT'S INTEGRITY!! Mom: Ready to do the right thing with Uncle Harold's peanut brittle?

Anyone know an Uncle Harold who makes peanut brittle to pass out at Christmas time? Or anyone who makes peanut brittle just for fun? I didn’t think so.

Cathy is one of the reasons for the rise of MGTOW; she always shows the worst side of women.

To me, Cathy’s mom is just making a light-hearted joke to have an “excuse” to eat nut bread. I would do something similar, declaring “I’ll ‘have’ to eat this because Aunt Rena worked so hard making it!”, even though she’ll never know if I ate it or not. She won’t be able to hear me or see me, but it amuses me anyway. Furthermore, I agree with her definition of character. Even if no one is watching, I still put the shopping cart into the corral, say kind things about others even if they are not there, and generally try to do the right thing just because that’s what we should do, not because someone is watching.
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Tuesday! Thank you for your kind birthday wishes a few days ago! I took a small break from things, plus it’s been busy in this time between the holidays! I hope everyone is having a good holiday season, and I hope everyone has a great day!

Definitely just an excuse to avoid the guilt after eating the goodies. Everyone knows that any goodie given as a gift is calorie free so no guilt should result. Of course after eating all those calorie free goodies you may want to run around the block a few hundred times – just for the fun of course.
It is a bright, sunny Tuesday. I hope your day is sunny as well.

We don’t have any nut bread in the house right now but we DO have two kinds of home-made cookies though: pumpkin chocolate chip and pumpkin oatmeal raisin (along with a bag of peanut brittle my daughter made and dropped off for us on Christmas Eve). I didn’t really feel all that hungry for any of it before but now that I’ve thought about it, it has sud-denly occurred to me that maybe I should have a little mid-afternoon snack after all. You know ….. just as a precaution so that I don’t pass out from low blood sugar or anything like that between now and dinnertime later on this evening around 6:00 p.m. or so! ;-)

How generous. (In a weird, [eye-roll-y] kind of way, but still … )
HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.n

Of course, Mom…we don’t want you passing out from low blood sugar…probably won’t happen to Cathy or her mom, ever….come to think of it…probably won’t happen to me either.
As far as MGTOW, they are probably doing women a favor.
