Ever Have That Time…

…when your seventeen year-old starts complaining that there aren’t any healthy snacks in the house, so you tell him you’re going grocery shopping and are taking requests for healthy snacks, and then he doesn’t suggest any, and then you come home after school and invite him to come shop with you so he can find the healthy snacks that he can eat because you don’t have anything to eat in the house, and then he comes with you to the grocery store to go shopping for healthy snacks because he needs to see for himself what he actually wants, and then the first thing he puts in the basket is literally something that we already have in the house, and then he asks his friend who he’s face-timing in the grocery store because he’s seventeen what kinds of healthy snacks he likes and his friend suggests something else that we have in the house, and then your seventeen year-old proceeds to walk up and down aisles suggesting all of the things that you currently have in your pantry and freezer and fridge and storage and so you leave with pretty much nothing in your cart except the stuff you originally had on your shopping list?

…no…?

yeah, me neither.

The snacks in question. Clearly I am trying to starve someone out.
