Am I a garbage disposal?

[Sillyman]

Everytime someone is eating, I always get offered the leftovers. My mom has done this for years. My aunt has done this for years. My grandmother has done this for years. If someone can't finish their meal, I get it. If their is something about to spoil (or in some cases, already spoiled), then it's handed over to me to finish.

I love food. I like eating. I have to wonder though if this practice hasn't factored into my weight problem at all though.

The answer is further explored in the Handy-Man thread.

The pithy version is....

These women are training you for your future role as a husband and a dad.

Last stop before the Garbage Disposer, Dog and/or Chickens!!


Consider it as an obscure tribal coming of age ritual

just say no.

This only works if your mouth is already FULL!!

I especialy love it when they are foisting something rancid on me. My grandmother loves that trick.

"Here, we've been saving this since the Carter administration."

we usually give the left overs and stuff about to go bad to the dogs, but i guess a sea cow would do.

Take it, thank them and drop it in the trash on your way out.

why in GODS name would you eat spoiled food?

are you insane or what?

I've been trained not to refuse food, even rotten food.
