How do you decide when you are full? Beyond the objective measure of the actual quantity of food I know I have prepared, placed on my plate, and consumed, I have a general sense of contentment. Not too hungry. Not too full. Just right. Alice apparently has much the same mechanism.
But hers talks.
“Can I be done now? My tummy is saying ‘(switches to a squeaky voice) no more food!’ so that means I’m probably full.”
And here she is already MILES ahead of all those folks in Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc., etc., who are still trying to unleash that little voice. Alice, you rock!
It, coincidentally, is the same little voice the broccoli uses when it says “eat me!”
LOL!
Lori is right – and how’d she know that that is EXACTLY what a tummy’s voice would sound like? Maybe that’s why I’m doing Jenny Craig – I don’t hear mine..
Isn’t that funny? I think my tummy would sound more like the big plant from Little Shop of Horrors: Feed me!
Lol…yeah, but you wouldn’t answer to “Seymour”..
Probably not, but it could grow on me.
I miss the days when my tummy sounded cute like that. It says a lot of things but none of them adorable.
I know. My tummy is crabby and overgrown, like a hosta in need of division. Too bad a spade and some elbow grease won’t help with this one.
