Hunger Strike
Me:
Wyatt, you have to eat something.
Wyatt:
I don’t want this—
Me:
Don’t throw it on the floor.
Wyatt:
And I don’t want this—
Me:
Stop it.
Boone:
Don’t worry. The dog will eat it.
Me:
I didn’t buy that food to feed the dog.
Boone:
Sure tastes like dog food to me.
Wyatt:
Good one, bro.
Me:
Fine. If you’re all done, I’ll just put the rest away.
Wyatt:
Yeah, get that stuff out of my face.
Me:
You guys don’t realize how good you have it. I give you organic chicken breast and fresh tomatoes and blueberries. You eat better than I do.
Boone:
If it’s so great, you eat it.
Me:
Maybe I will. This chicken looks good...
Wyatt:
Hey, Boone. He’s eating it. He’s really eating it.
Boone:
Dude, you’re eating our food.
Me:
You didn’t want it.
Boone:
Wait. Hold on—
Wyatt:
He’s really wolfing that down. Stop him. I’m hungry!
Boone:
Okay, old man. We’ll eat it. Hand it over.
Me:
Too late. The chicken’s gone. Man, was it awesome.
Wyatt:
What’s left?
Me:
There’s some broccoli here.
Wyatt:
Give it! I’m wasting away!
Me:
Not so bad now, is it?
Boone:
You think you’re so clever.
Me:
Perhaps I do.
Boone:
Well, perhaps the dog just threw up all the steamed carrots we fed him.
