Snacking Rules

It's ten-o-clock in the morning, or three in the afternoon.
Your belly starts vibrating - it will need some food very soon.

You search the refrigerator. What's quick and easy to eat?
What is the most convenient, most tasty and delicious treat?


Strawberries, oranges or peaches, cookies or crackers or chips,
toast or raisins or popcorn or veggies cut up, served with dips?

Pretend you need to be sneaky, to hide so no one will know.
Remove all trace of snacking. Allow no evidence to show.

Never open a new package. Never finish something off.
Avoid foods that are messy or that make you sneeze, burp or cough.

Don't leave any dirty dishes for others to discover.
Seal up bags, jars and boxes. Remember to close the cupboard.

Clean up any crumbs or messes on floor or chair or table.
Don't even think of eating food with someone else's label.

Chew your food very quietly - no crunches, munches or slurps.
Don't create smelly odors in microwaves, ovens or burps.

If you follow these instructions, your kitchen will always gleam!
and P.S. Never, never leave your spoon inside the ice cream!
