Healthy eating

This afternoon close to 3 o'clock Alex came to me and said that he was hungry. I told him that he could have an apple or some baby carrots or some little tomatoes. He asked, "Am I on a diet?" In between my laughing I explained that he had already eaten birthday cake, pizza, 2 dum-dum lollipops, fruit punch and a chicken nugget lunchable; and that he needed to balance it with a fruit or vegetable. He decided that he wasn't so hungry anymore!
