For SWGB

[bluemtnrunner]

Here is a little tale for my friend who jeers at me every time I mention our Velveeta habit. It is summer so along with our 5 teens who still live at home, we have several teen friends over. We are feeding them around the clock and having a great time. HOWEVER, we have this one kid who is with us for two weeks. The first week he was great but now things are disintegrating as he gets more familiar with us or tired of being away from home or whatever. So, I got up with his mom on text messages today to ask for advice. We figured out some ideas on dealing with the attitude and then started talking about food. The kid just isn't eating. He says he likes chicken or tacos or mac and cheese but when it is time to eat, he doesn't even try it and says he doesn't like it. We are perplexed. Our kids eat anything...and everything, no one is picky and here comes this guy. He asked Ed how long he has been a cook...that went over well .
So his mom says he likes mac and cheese, hot dogs, pizza. I said, we told him we were making mac and cheese just a couple of hours ago and he told us he doesn't like it.
Mom asks, "KRAFT?"
I said, "No, Velveeta.?"
She says, "No wonder, he only likes Kraft in the blue box!"

WTF
I ask you SWGB, isn't all mac and cheese (except the generic brand) the same goopy, salty, cheesy mass? I mean, is there a difference that would make a kid turn up his nose and say, "You are not my parents and can't force me to eat that?" (Not that I will force him, heck that leaves more for the rest of the tribe).

When does school start?

No, it tastes totally different. Different noodles, different cheese texture, different flavor.

Though any kid who is getting a free lunch should just shut up and eat it IMO!

 

[BeachbumAggie]

they do taste different but all boxed mac n cheese is just boxed mac n cheese so ease up kid!

that being said, I'm from East Texas and a casserole just aint a casserole without a layer of velveeta- and that includes lasagna!

The peas we cooked tonight are two different shades of green. He wants us to separate them. Me thinks the issue is deeper.

Is he grumpy because his mother forgot to pack his loafer lightner?

Seriously though, this woman must spoil him rotten at home. I do understand the difference between boxed mac n cheese. There are basically two kinds, gloopy crap in a bag and dry mix. Personally I prefer the dry mix and then we throw in a good heaping handful of shredded cheddar. The gloopy crap in a bag is just oiled down Velveeta anyway and never tastes right.

Velveeta...Unwrapped

P.S. The kid in that ad died of Velveeta poisoning. :funn:

Me thinks he is either a spoiled little sheet or needs some (different) meds for his OCD. :roll:

 

[Alicia Leonard]

me thinks he can seperate his own peas. He's lucky he's not visiting Mel Gibson's house. Can you imagine what he would say about seperating peas????

 

[scooterbug44]

P.S. How long do you have this kid? Can you straighten him out so he is a decent human being instead of an entitled little brat?

Otherwise I see lots of items left on the beach and SUV's parked in 2 spaces in his future.

He's getting on a bus back home to mama in the morning. After coming in and waking us up at midnight demanding the phone to call friends and telling us we can't tell him what to do, we are giving him the heave ho. I've had lots of kids come through here, this the first one we have ever had to send home early.
