Grandma Introduces Bacon To Tony

Tony was four when he stayed with grandma and grandpa.
He had never had bacon.
I started out with four pieces.
But he wanted more.
Was six too many?
Eight?
He ate the entire package.
Why did our daughter never give our grandson bacon?
Isn't that child abuse?
He gained twenty pounds in the week he was with us.

L Milton Hankins June 13, 2022 at 7:29 AM I love bacon, but alas, it doesn't love me, so I haven't had bacon in a couple of years! Wish I could, but it puts me in the hospital. I've been told that bacon is the food doctors won't eat. Caren Krutsinger June 13, 2022 at 1:28 PM I love bacon and so does my grandson Tony.
