We are all on a diet at our
® house. Oh! we've been on diets
before, but they were never serious,
but this diet is. It was one of
those things that the doctor said
to our wife, “You have to go on
the diet I describe, and if you
don’t——".
Well, our wife was scared, so she
went on this diet.’
Now, when one of our women-
folk wanted to go on a diet before,
it never bothered us as it was just
one of those things that they
“would start tomorrow,” but this
one is for keeps.
We are one of those fortunate
guys that weighed between 125 to
150 pounds from the time that we
first knew enough to step on a
scale until the present day. Food
never bothered us, we ate every
thing and never got any heavier,
but we never did care anything for
desserts... Cakes, pies, and pud-
dings would be passed up by us
much to our wife's disappointment.
While we were sipping our coffee
after a good meal of stew, steak,
chicken, or other wholesome din-
ners, we often wondered how our
wife or kids could still relish a
dessert, but we just shrugged it off
as one -of those things that all
persons are different, even in fam-
ilies. We were all happy. “They”
ate what they relished and we ate
what we wanted and no one gave
a thought as to whether we finish-
ed our dessert or not. In fact one
of our five kids would ‘gobble up
our share of the dinner’s sweets
(with our permission) before Mom
had a chance to clear the table,
so half the time she wouldn't know
whether we ate the pie, cake or
pudding or not.
Now things are different. Our
wife is on a diet, a serious one,
no pie, cake, buns, puddings, or
anything that contains sugar. Our
only offspring that is still homel
with us is on a diet too. Not a
serious one, she just wants to keep
her weight down, so occasionally
she helps us out by eating the hot
cross buns that we pass up.
Last Tuesday our. daughter
wasn’t home for supper. Just the
wife and we were eating alone. We
had a delicious meal of a lamb
stew pie from a leg of lamb left
over from Sunday’s dinner. Carrots,
peas, potatoes, and a delicious
crust covering pieces of lamb that
needed: no cutting with a knife. We
enjoyed “our meal thoroughly, and
just as we were sitting back to
sip our ‘coffee royale our wife said,
“Oh! boy, have we got a dessert
for you, I can’t eat it, but you
may.” Her eyes sparkled. This
was something, that she was going
to enjoy seeing us eat. It was an
“Individual Boston Cream Pie”, so
said our wife, and when it was
put down before us we wished that
the guy that named it was there
to help us eat it. Oh! not that it
wasn’t good! Oh, yes, it was very
good, but we would have been
happier with just coffee. It was
one of those things with a deep
saucer shaped crust, with a yellow
filling whose base contained at
least two eggs, topped off with a
half inch of heavy whipped cream,
and then in honor of George Wash-
ington, a circle of sweet red cher-
ries rounded the top of this del-
icacy.
Our wife sat back to enjoy us
eating it. This was something she
relished before the doctor's orders
— now she was going to have her
fun by proxy. We took a forkful,
which any one else in this world
would have probably enjoyed—but
we, well, we wished the guy from
Boston that discovered this pie was
our guest this evening. Not that
it wasn’t good, but we are not a
cake eater. We took another bite,
not looking at our wife, as we felt
_ she knew we weren't enjoying it
as she expected. We rolled it
around in our mouth as our grand-
son does when his mother feeds
him his mush. The dish was grab-
bed up from the table.
We weren't even forgiven when
we helped dry the dishes. Maybe
we'll do better on St. Patrick’s Day:
when those little green mints are
served. In the meantime if we do
not have another dessert between
now and then that will satisfy us,
and we wish our doctor would tell
our womenfolk that we are not
supposed to be in on these diets.
Aren't we the henpecked guy
though? One day we are going
to put our foot down, maybe.
