That’ll sort it! Reminds me of an ex-colleague’s mum who used to buy him smooth peanut butter. When he complained that he only likes crunchy, she announced this…. “But if I buy you crunchy peanut butter… you eat it!”

Hi Gershon, sounds like my grandchildren, lol! I take it that this was when your kids were younger. My two grandkids are slender, but eat like champs. They eat it, and I'm the one who gains weight, lol! Shabbat Shalom, my friend. :)
