My son ate an entire pumpkin pie for breakfast.

[Midlodemocrat]

Well, at least it's a vegetable of some sort.

:eyes:

[cwydro]

1. I totally love pumpkin pie

your son is all right by me:P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. How old is he?

I don't understand how boys eat like monsters. I once witnessed my ex-gf's son (15yo) eat two grilled cheeses, 1 large can of soup, a whole box of chicken nuggets, and 4 donuts for lunch. We were quite disturbed by this scene, to say the least.

[Midlodemocrat]

4. 14. And in a MAJOR growth spurt.

I can't keep him in shoes.

[slackmaster]

24. I could have done that easily at age 14

When I was 13 I ate about 4 pounds of turkey meat at Thanksgiving.

[Midlodemocrat]

29. I can't get over how much he eats lately.

He'll come home from school, order a pizza and consume the entire thing while he's doing his homework.

Then, he'll have a snack around 4 and start bugging me about 5:30 to start dinner because he's hungry.

It's amazing.

[slackmaster]

32. I drank a lot of milk at that age too

It helps wash down massive quantities of solids.

[EFerrari]

3. That's very impressive! And what are you doing for breakfast

tomorrow. ;)

[Midlodemocrat]

5. Well, I made two last night, so if he doesn't finish off the second

one for a snack, he'll probably eat that one for breakfast tomorrow.

I couldn't believe it when I went downstairs this morning. The entire thing. Gone.

[cwydro]

9. um, you do remember that scene

in American Pie....just sayin';-)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. Nah, it's specifically mentioned that warm *apple* pie is needed.

:rofl:

[cwydro]

13. hmmm

there're those apples again.....

[ThomCat]

26. Is there anyone else here who hasn't seen that movie?

:shrug:

[Midlodemocrat]

30. Me. If it didn't have cartoon characters in it, chances are real

good I didn't see it.

I have about 20 DVDs that I've purchased from Costco that I want to watch; they're not even unwrapped yet.

*sigh*

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

33. Wait, are you saying you don't know what we're talking about?

[Midlodemocrat]

34. Unfortunately, yes. I have no idea what you are talking about.

I know. I know. I'm a moran.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

35. Perhaps not so unfortunately, once you read this...

Okay, in the movie "American Pie," one of the boys is told that having sex with a woman feels like warm apple pie. So the guy goes home, sees a warm apple pie on the counter and...err...violates the pie. And then his dad walks in and they decide they're just going to tell the mom that they ate it all.

[Midlodemocrat]

36. Wow. That takes care of any desire I had to make apple pie

tonight.

More pumpkin might be in order.

[BarenakedLady]

6. Now I'm hungry

and craving pumpkin pie.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. Ah, puberty.

I remember when I was that age. I went into my bedroom one day and came out two feet taller.

[wildhorses]

8. I love punkin pie

with or with out whipped cream?

[Left Is Write]

11. Then he got a lot of vitamin A and fiber. Good for him!

[ThomCat]

12. When I was a teen it was a running joke

how much food I would eat at a meal. I was stick-thin and I never stopped eating. I was always hungry.

My standard weekend breakfast was a 6 egg omlett with onions, garlic and 3 different types of cheese in it, an over-full bowl of cereal, and at least half a gallon of milk.

Then three hours later I'd have 5 PBJ sandwiches for my first lunch.

:P

[NewWaveChick1981]

15. We used to call those huge bowls of cereal Jethro Bowls....

:rofl: My brother could polish off two HUGE Jethro Bowls of cereal (usually amounted to a whole box of cereal and AT LEAST a half gallon of milk if not a whole one) in one sitting. :yoiks: I was just sure Granny Clampett was gonna come running around the corner and hit him with her wooden spoon...

Instead, Mom read him the Riot Act for polishing off the groceries she had just bought. :P

[ThomCat]

20. My mom did that too.

We were eating government surplus food, and here I was eating us out of house and home. :(

And there were two of us. I have a twin brother. I have no idea how our mom managed to get enough food for us. I think she worked her second job just to pay for food, and we both worked to pay for our own junk food.

Wow, things look so different when you look back from a distance of years. :P

Single Mothers rock!

[matcom]

14. you are truly a WONDERFUL mother

:hide:

:D

[Midlodemocrat]

27. *blush* why thank you kind sir.

Tell that to the teenager. The girl, I mean. :eyes:

[marzipanni]

16. Before I even clicked on your post I thought "Let me guess, he's a teenager..."

My husband told me that when he was a high school kid playing football he added up the calories of one day of his food intake ....10,000!!!
That's only about four times what a man should eat!

[Love Bug]

17. Well, he'll poop orange for a day or two but should survive

:D

[Love Bug]

18. Well, he'll poop orange for a day or two but should survive

:D

[LostinVA]

19. I COULD do that

I love pumpkin pie. But, I can't handle two zillion fat grams and calories at once any more. My family always makes me a pumpkin pie instead of a cake for my birthday.

Going to the Highlands Games this weekend, by any chance?

[Midlodemocrat]

43. Doubt it. We're probably heading out to Chippokes for the

Plantation Christmas Fair. We go every year. I love it. Great food, great crafts, (real artisans, not that doll made out of an Ivory soap bottle crap) and the setting is beautiful.

That is, if the teenager doesn't have driver's ed. :eyes:

[driver8]

21. When I was a teenager, two Big Macs, fries and a coke was my normal

order at McDonald's. If I was still hungry after that, I would order another Big Mac!!

My snack at night while I was watching tv was usually two ham and cheese sandwiches....I ate this almost every night.

One day our high school football team went to the lunch buffet at Pizza Hut...one of the guys on the team at 26 pieces of pizza!! He didn't eat the crust, but still -- that's a lot of food!!

We were all thin as rails, also.

[ThomCat]

23. Typical lunch

Back when I would eat that junk I would get six cheeseburgers and 3 x-large fries for a typical lunch.

I have no idea how I survived. And I was skinny too. We're all lucky to survive our teens. :silly:

[Left Is Write]

31. My brother ate a ton in high school too.

If my dad made hamburgers on the grill, my brother would eat two or three with cheese, and then follow it up with a big serving bowl of spaghetti.

He ate ice cream and cereal out of serving bowls too.

He was always tall and skinny in those days.

[Lars39]

22. I remember my BIL at that age having to turn his plate in after

eating *five* heaped-up plates of food at a Thanksgiving dinner.

[idgiehkt]

25. taking cues from Reagan, are we?

:rofl:

to tell you the truth, punkin' pie is really good. It's the allspice or nutmeg or something. I can see how that could happen.

[Midlodemocrat]

28. And, because I knew he would wolf it down, I didn't put as much

sugar into it.

He just said. "Mom those pies were the best ever".

:rofl:

Joke is on him.

[smtpgirl]

37. Yum, Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Walnut Pie

Delicious

[smtpgirl]

38. Yum, Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Walnut Pie

[smtpgirl]

39. Yum, Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Walnut Pie

[ThomCat]

42. Wow. I guess you really do love pumpkin pie.

:rofl:

[LaraMN]

40. This is what I have to look forward to, isn't it?

:rofl:

NoelMN is eight, and he already eats more than I do.
:scared:

[underpants]

41. Yogi Berra goes into a pizzeria

and the guy asks him "You want that cut inta 6 slices or 8?"

Yogi says,"You better make it 6 I don't think I can eat 8"

:bounce:

[YankeyMCC]

44. LoL

I like the way you think. But I think it's technically a Fruit.

[Midlodemocrat]

45. LOL. I think you might be right.

But at least it's got beta carotene in it.

This child wouldn't eat a green vegetable if his life depended on it.

on edit: Isn't pumpkin a type of squash? :shrug:

[YankeyMCC]

46. Yes it's in the same family as squash

It's funny when I was a kid I would only eat green veggies nothing orange. Now I love pumkin (particularly in pie form) and squash. But I still like my greens too.
