Introducing...

"Dear Ma,"

A new column I am starting myself.

It's completely innovative in that:

a) I write the answers
b) I also write the letters to me
c) I may or may not use real circumstances from real life.

Here is tonight's inaugural column:

Dear Ma,
We had broccoli and cheese for supper this evening and there was more than one portion left over. I am fairly full but I hate to see that go to waste. You know I could put it in the fridge, but then it would probably be forgotten and get moldy and how could I even tell since broccoli starts out being green? It's healthy food, so how can it be wrong to overeat when it seems so right?

Dear Epiplexis,
Yes, this is a real conundrum, you DUMMY. Especially since by the time you get this answer, your broccoli will have bought the farm. (But keep the following in mind for the NEXT time you serve broccoli with cheese and have leftovers)...Eat just enough so that you still have a little left, but not enough worth saving. That way you will not have wasted more than a serving, but you also will not have eaten to the bursting point. I'm guessin'.

Another thing worth remembering...people who serve corn don't have this problem.

signed, Ma
