My Stepmother Throws A Fit When I Don't Eat Sweets

When I have dinner at my Dad's house, my stepmother always has a good spread of fried chiclen, fried okra, green bean cassarole, mashes potatoes and gravy and all of the fixings on the table. Then after I have stuffed my gut with all of these goodies, she pulls out the pecan pie and cheese cake.

Of course I'm already stuffed, and she throws a hissey fit when I don't eat her sweets.

What should I do about this?

Purge.

Take home a doggy bag for later. She will be flattered and you will have some breakfast. (Of course, purging works too)

Is the hissy fit she throws anything like the one you are throwing now? :D

Erm . . . save room? Take a piece to go?

Tim, do like the alien in Starman did, have desert first. If you have not seen the movie, try to get it and enjoy. I can't think of any other way to stop her hissy-fits except maybe don't eat so much of the other goodies. Anyway, I think pecan pie should be in the main course of the meal.lol

I didn't know that it was even 78 words.

Carolyn..I'll check out that movie.

Lisa...What can I say ?
Timothy V. Jan 15, 2007, 12:39am EST
Madame...I'm all for doggy bags, why didn't I think of that ?

David..Good point.

Sandy...I thought that you had gone to bed ?
Madame Donna C. Jan 15, 2007, 1:10am EST
Timothy, Sandy can't go to bed without a proper goodnight to all.
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Jan 15, 2007, 1:14am EST
Timothy, I can't go to bed until I have accounted for everyone on my connection list. Has anyone seen Bongo tonight? Any updates on that flu bug he had last week?
Madame Donna C. Jan 15, 2007, 1:16am EST
Haven't seen Bongo at all today, come to think of it. Should we issue an Amber Alert?
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Jan 15, 2007, 1:16am EST
What about Ferrero? I sure hope she's okay.

Sandy , "Timothy, I can't go to bed until I have accounted for everyone on my connection list." How many people do you have on your list ??
Timothy . Your really have to ask such a quesiton ! Since you have been there and know dessert is coming , don't pig out on the first course, save room for the dessert !
Wendy HUSSEIN R. Jan 15, 2007, 9:28am EST
Donna, I triple dog dare you to send me an Amber alert.

Eat a little less dinner, saving room for the sweets. As a stepmother, I've always tried to serve foods the kids like. In 27 years of stepmothering, I have never thrown a hissey fit nor have I been offended if someone is too full for dessert.
