Normal or Neurotic?












I found out that my son always eats his favourite thing last. Lawrence always eats first whatever he thinks will lose heat the fastest. I'm pretty sure I eat my favourite thing for the first bite because it tastes so much better on an empty stomach, but usually I eat everything at the same time. What I mean is that I mix foods on my fork, and I don't eat only one thing at a time, preferring a mix of flavours at once.

Clearly my son has a well-developed understanding of the benefits of delayed gratification that I lack, and Lawrence... well, perhaps he should stop thinking so much.

I have heard of people whose food isn't allowed to touch the other foods on the plate, or they must eat each thing in its entirety before moving on to the next item on the plate, or they never mix foods on their fork. I'm guessing there are many other 'food neuroses' - Please, tell me yours.

For once unafraid, I can go where life leads me.

Easy. Consuming. Unconditional.

Did you know that if you say the word 'banana' slowly enough,
it sounds just like gullible?

This kind of certainty comes
but once in a lifetime...

It's true.
