1. This is deeeeeelicious! You should make this EVERY day, Daddy.
2. Mmmmm, this is better than the food at the restaurant.
3. Yes, I do want more: I'm not full!
4. I'm fuuuuull (the whining inflection is important, here).
5. I've always hated pasta.
6. Ooops! I 'dropped' those boiled potatoes on the floor. Twice.
7. I didn't eat snacks just before supper. (Conceals orange chip crumbs).
8. I'm tired/need the toilet/feeling sick…
9. That black bit looks like a dead fly, I'm not eating, ever again.
10.  You cook muuuuch better than mommy, daddy (observe the mommy slump a little in her chair and vow never to cook again).

Yup.

I've had a week so far of feeding them, and they are still more-or-less upright. They've had the occasional snack to distract them, and I'm using paper plates as much as possible to avoid doing too many dishes, but at least I haven't had to call in UNICEF to prance around in white jeeps with inappropriate sources of nutrition.

9 weeks to go until Neen/mommy comes back.

9 weeks!

*makes small calculation*: 9 x 7 days = 63, 63 x 4 people= 252.

252 x 3 meals= 756

756 pizzas@ R50.00 per Pizza= R37 800.00 (not including tips for delivery)- so call it an even R40 000.00

(40000 South African Rand(s) = 4064.01 US Dollar(s)
1 USD = 9.8425 ZAR
1 ZAR = 0.1016 USD)

That's a lot of money.

That's a lot of pizza.

Anyone offering to bake me something?
