Heart of the City by Steenz for May 12, 2015

How MUCH sugar: the whole C&H box?

Actually, that doesn’t sound half bad …

I would have just eaten the fig newtons and had a glass of milk. We always argued for oatmeal cookies and a glass of milk instead of a bowl of oatmeal with sugar on it.

Fig newtons… ye gads, it’s been decades.

Yer darn tootin, she likes fig newtons.

When I was younger my mom tried every once in awhile to steer us to the healthier cereals. But every time we added so much sugar to them to make them edible that she switched back to pre-sweetened cereal just to cut our sugar intake before school. Nearly 50 now and still eats me Lucky charms, fruity pebbles, Fruit loops and cinnamon toast crunch.

I remember when a friend served Fig Newtons that he’d warmed in the oven. Amazing how many of the guests commented how much better his “homemade” were than the store-bought kind.

Agreed Heart.

Mom, it could have been a LOT worse.

Depending on how many are in the bowl, she’s a good chance she’s going to regret it later. They can be a pretty potent purgative if eaten in large quantities.

The Big Fig

That got my gag reflex- the sugar part

As someone who has it. Be careful Heart. Or else you can develop diabetes!

You’re about to get a bowl of Pukey-O’s.
