Hi Mrs. Abrams. I know that my last few blog posts haven't been very exciting, and I'm sure after reading everyone's comments on the same five short stories, you're probably in the mood for a change. So, instead of writing another soporific blog post, I decided to write one about the place where I spend most of my time...the kitchen.
First of all, everything in my kitchen is under 100 calories. My mom buys 100 calorie packs like a fish needs water. I don't know why. I'm afraid to ask, mostly because I'm afraid of the answer. I mean, who wants to hear their parents tell them that they need to lose a couple of pounds?
You should hear the conversation my mom and I have when I ask her to buy regular Cheez-its instead of reduced-fat. It's like talking to a wall, because she usually ignores my pleading and buys the reduced-fat anyway. You would think that asking for full-fat Cheez-its would be a lilliputian request, but I think it actually pains my mother to buy the regular version of a product when the low-fat, no-sugar box is right next to it on the shelf. So when I have a craving for regular Cheez-its, I have to an extremely obsequious daughter, answering to every request and plastering a smile on my face until Saturday morning, when she goes to Shop-Rite and comes home with a box of regular Cheez-its.
I can understand the whole "having a healthy lifestyle" thing, but I think my mom takes it a little too far. Everytime I have friends over, no one wants to eat anything because they say it all tastes like either dog food or cardboard. I guess my taste buds have grown immune to it :)
P.S. - I also have a really cool button on my fridge that instead of saying "water," it says "chilled water." Some people (cough...jess...cough) find this very amusing.

Chloe I laughed when I read this because it is so true. Even though some of your 100 calorie packs are good, I don't know how you live only eating them. Except I think one time I went over your mom got regular cookies, which was a big treat. I can't believe you managed to include Cheez-its into your blog post. Only you would do that. But now you don't have to wait til Saturday mornings to get your food because people bought you tons of boxes. Also, I am upset that you failed to mention your really really cool refrigerator. I think you should write a kitchen part two so you can go into detail about your chilled water.
ok i fixed it for you.
