A More Balanced Booger

It’s Booger. Today, Goober made me eat all healthy meals. And you know what? It wasn’t so bad.

For breakfast, I had whole grain toast with peanut butter. That was pretty tasty. And then he cut up a big bowl of strawberries and mixed it up with some yogurt. It was really good! It almost tasted like ice cream!

At lunch time, Goober made me a whole wheat pizza with turkey pepperoni and tomato slices on top. It was delicious! It was just like a real pizza! I guess that’s because it WAS a real pizza. And I know I told Sparky last week that I hated apples, but after lunch Goober gave me some apple slices with peanut butter on them. I’ve discovered today that a lot of things taste good with peanut butter on them! I’ll have to remember that.

For dinner we had roast chicken. Normally I would smother it with a load of gravy but Goober said to try it on its own and it was really juicy and tasty. I never really knew what roast chicken tasted like before because I’ve never had it when it wasn’t swimming in a pool of gravy. I also had a whole grain roll and – you know what else? I ate a vegetable! Really! Goober made broccoli – which I was sure would be absolutely disgusting. But Goober put some cheese sauce on it and that was delicious! Then he asked me if I wanted to try some broccoli without the cheese sauce and I said let’s not get carried away.

For dessert we had raspberry sorbet, which is kind of like ice cream but without the cream, and it’s made from real raspberries. It was so sweet and refreshing.

After dinner I wanted to go online and play a game with my friends but Goober FORCED me to go out for a walk with him. All I could think about was getting back to my computer but when we walked past the park I saw Molly and Millie playing with Alex, so I went and played with them. I was having so much fun I totally forgot about my online friends.

And usually when I go outside and play I run out of steam right away, but today I seemed to have a bit more energy. I wonder why.
