Dinner Time Negotiator Prints

Okay, little miss I-Hate-Everything-We're-Having-For-Dinner, do want the pouting or non-pouting section?

'I couldn't stand the heat, so I got out of the kitchen.'

'I know! It's what I had last night for dinner.'

Garlic Free Zone.

'Broccoli is biodegradable, you know, in case you want to throw it out before I eat it.'

'Okay mum, I'll eat it all up. But I doubt I'll grow big and strong on this muck!'

"No, four glasses of water was enough. . . now I have to go to the bathroom!"

'Dinner will be ready soon -- the submarine sandwiches are soaking now.'

"No dessert until you finish your dark matter."

"Houston, we have a problem!"

'I'm pretty sleepy tonight, Dad - could we just skip ahead to the chase scene?'

'Welcome home, Dear. Your dinner is in the popcorn bowl.'

'But I'm not tired yet!!!'

'No, there's nothing else: At this time of year, we eat salmon!'

"He's a fussy eater."

Cat on cuckoo clock waiting for bird.

"I realize you want to enjoy every last minute of summer, but it's not possible to stay awake until school starts."

'Early to bed and early to rise? It's a deal.'

"When dad cooks dinner, it's hard to tell if he's opening cans for us or the cat."

'There is something wrong with the spinach. It tastes good.'

'What do you mean, it's good for me and I'll like it? That sounds like a contradiction in terms.'

'Never, ever give the benefit of doubt to a Brussells sprout.'

'All right. I'll get forty winks, but not one wink more.'

'We tried hunting and we tried gathering, but now we usually eat out.'

"Tonight the covers stay on my side."

'The only time he works up a sweat is running to the dinner table...'

The PARTISAN CAFE: "For or against section?"

"Talk doesn't cook rice...but it does make it more enjoyable!"

'If you don't have room for vegetables, you don't have room for dessert, so I put your vegetables on top of your ice cream.'

'Early to bed and early to rise. I like a saying with an escape clause.'

'Charles, what did I tell you about bringing your work home?'

'There's a problem with dinner - the roast didn't.'

"It's blank!!"

"Snowflake, quit eyeballing me!"

It's the dinner I didn't make. It's kind of a Zen Thing
