Whining Animals

I was wandering through the store with my kids and saw some delicious individually wrapped cakes in a box. As I started at them, my kids saw what I was looking at and said, "Can we get some that for dessert?"

I picked up the box to read the nutritional information and saw that each mini cake was 500 calories and I put the box back. I told them that they were 500 calories each - way too much.

My son looks up and me and says, "But Dad, we can have 1000 calories a day."
