yes "family bag" is not a term I usually use but I wanted something to imply that it wasn't specifically her bag.
I did not, but the marketing campaign of it being badass because it had more calories than Diet Dr. Pepper is pretty hilarious (not as in great marketing, just pretty hilarious they went with 10 bold new calories as crux of their pitch)
Kids asked for McDonald’s and my wife said “I don’t need any fries, I’ll just have a few of yours. Only get four fries.” We get the food home and my son dumps his fries on the floor while taking them out of the bag. She tells him, “Don’t worry. You can have mine. I didn’t want fries anyway.”
In our case, it almost always winds up with her giving away my food to a child instead of eating it herself. She’d rather starve herself (and me) than have one of our kids not be full after a meal.
Every morning the wife and kids line up in the kitchen while I retrieve the family granola bag from the safe in my closet. They hold out their hands and I give each of them their daily granola allowance before returning it to the safe. It’s everyone’s favorite part of the day and prevents anyone from absconding from home with the family granola bag.
Guys I think we are making light of the family granola bag thing. I went to the grocery store and granola is as expensive as eggs. We can’t as a society have people filling up on granola; we need to force them to eat less expensive stuff like $1 fries from McDonalds to fill up and the granola is the topper.
This is why the family granola bag belongs under lock and key until it is being responsibly rationed out.
I’m here for the family granola, not your personal granola. Your granola is insured by the federal government.
Bought one of these for my granola. Its become a great revenue source. My kid was so excited the tooth fairy came today so he could afford granola for the week.
The last 6-8 weeks have been absurdly expensive in my house. We are fortunate to be able to get through a quarter like this, but it is not fun eating such large (expected and unexpected) expenses. $10k tax bill $10k vacations for the year $8k hardwood refinishing $5k plumbing issues $4k medical expenses My wife’s response to my stress: “Calm down. I’ll just get a job that pays more.” Oh. Didn’t realize that was an option.
My wife spent $75 on Lego themed donuts for my kid to take to daycare for Donuts with Dad day. She said she didnt realize they cost that much. Pic will be coming once we get them to show what fucking $75 donuts look like.
These are donuts for 2-4 yr olds mind you. Most of the dads don’t eat them. They got chick fil-a minis and the fruit platter that we demolish.
my response to money issues is usually "just make more money, ez" so i'm glad she had the right grindset
