I have decided none of my children may eat french fries.

[rug]

Flame me if you must.

[Deep13]

1. .

[rug]

2. Now, that's a flame.

[CreekDog]

3. and I have decided that it shall not rain at picnics

[rug]

4. I'm working on halting the waves.

[kentauros]

5. What about waffle fries, steak fries and Freedom Fries?

[rug]

10. No, no and no.

They must learn.

[kentauros]

18. How about Fried Frenchies then?

:P

[datasuspect]

6. i'm ok

you are not ok.

heartless ABUSER!!!!

[rug]

11. They can't even have the stub of one.

[cwydro]

7. My dog stole one of mine yesterday.

She did NOT ask first, nor did she apologize.

[rug]

12. Beat the crap out of her.

[cwydro]

22. But would that be emotional abuse?

I'm confused about that.

[pokerfan]

8. What about Jo Jo potatoes?

4 baking potatoes, unpeeled
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. pepper

Cut each potato into 4 lengthwise wedges; place in cold water. Dip wedges into melted butter, then roll in mixture of crumbs, cheese and seasonings. Place in single layer in shallow baking dish. Pour any remaining butter over potatoes. Bake at 400 degrees 30 to 35 minutes. Turn after 15 minutes.

[rug]

14. That looks pretty good.

I'll let them have a smell, but that's all.

[Inchworm]

9. That sucks!

Kids can turn french fries into energy!

:cry:

[rug]

15. They can have all the toostsie rolls they want.

[Swede]

13. I see you are using reverse psychology on them.

Knowing that they will eat them with more gusto when you are not around. Brilliant!

[rug]

16. Psychology does not work on children. You have to leverage your larger size.

[rcrush]

17. I'm going to take your kids tater tots

[rug]

19. Watch it, not one is on the honor roll.

[kentauros]

20. Yet, they all have cheeserolls

[stray cat]

26. tator tots with bacon bits!

[annabanana]

21. . . and they will go straight to McDonalds & pig out on french fries as soon as

they are old enough to leave the house. .

[applegrove]

23. What about sweet potato fries?

[rug]

29. I won't even eat them.

Sweet potatoes are designed to be eaten mashed and slathered in butter and brown sugar. With marshmallows.

[applegrove]

30. Yuk! Peeled, sliced, a little olive oil and salt and broiled is the way to go with SP.

[petronius]

24. That's cruel. If there are fries left over after I'm completely satiated,

then I let the kids run a race around the block to decide which of them gets to sample a few. It's only fair.

Of course they're slow and sometime I forget they're out there, so I absent-mindedly snarf the leftovers anyway, but you can't really blame me for that...

[stray cat]

25. Fried cheese sticks and fried dill pickles are ok then?

[rug]

27. They live on cheese sticks, I'm not that cruel.

[stray cat]

28. Lol - they are good!

[Ikonoklast]

31. Another radical vegan.

Only raw spuds for the little brats.

Organically grown raw spuds.

Unwashed.

That'll learn 'em.




Watch your back, is all the advice I can give.

[PassingFair]

32. Kid takes one of MY fries, this is what he GETS!

[Schema Thing]

33. You monster

I mean, I'd totally understand if you said "none of my children may eat french fries over 2 inches in length", but as it is, you're just being totalitarian.

[rcrush]

34. Buy them some KFC but eat all skin off the chicken before they can get to it

Then laugh as they cry!

[proteus_lives]

36. Ooh, Cartman tactics.

Harsh!

[proteus_lives]

35. Weak-sauce.

Your ban will make them seek out the forbidden treat. At school/with friends.

[donheld]

37. "but dad!"

:D
