So I was in the ole Walmart doin some grocery and my mom calls , and of course I pick up and start a conversatin'.
Nothing much just seeing what I was up to. Of course I tell her I'm getting some grocery and she asks what I'm getting . So I proudly send her this picture !
[Linked Image]

She says " o you must just be starting "
I say " Uuuuuugh no I'm about to go to the check out this is about a weeks worth of eatin"

There's a rather long pause and she come back with

"Boy ! How is that a WEEKS WORTH OF FOOD ! You got a snack ,one MABYE two good meals off that chicken , a slaves breakfast with them biscuits and milk and WATER ! You gonna starve !"

After my ear stops ringing I tell her : "Naw look , I can make a good size pot of dumplings with that chicken , biscuits and milk that's about a week right there ! I 10lbs of rice at the house , and I can put the pepperoni in my ramen noodles ,and by buying the stryofoam cups I saved $1.56 instead of buying the cup ramen , then I don't have to was dishes !"

Yet another long pause and she just says " REALLY ?"

I take a long second of contemplation and said " yeah mom your right ! I already pay a water bill I just refill my Gatorade bottles and toss em in the fridge !"

She proceeds to tell me I ain't been right since I joined the army and hung up laugh Idk y'all figured she'd be proud ! Heck I didn't even mention the cabinet full of sardines ,tuna, and crackers I got or the box of MRE's I got stashed away. ! cool

You better watch out. Your mom is probably going to be hard on the prowl to find you a wife to cook for you now.

That should be good for a couple of home cooked meals. Did she notice you didn't have any laundry detergent in the cart,?

Help me understand canned biscuits? Its no wonder your Mom is nervous. I didnt know people really ate those things

Wait, biscuits are a “slaves” breakfast.
Where I come from biscuits are fit for a king.

Especially homemade ones (but nothing wrong with can ones either)

I thought you were telling a joke. Was waiting for the punchline.

I remember a similar call with my mom in the 70's when my buddies and I were broke after a summer of guiding and spending our free money on guns, bird hunting and such. I told her we were living on rice, pancakes and mallards.... and it was the truth. She reacted like Wolfdog's mom did but sent me a check the next week. God rest her generous soul.
