Eat because you have to?

Simple conversation that happened a few minutes ago with my dad about food. He said, “Mona, did you eat yet dinner?”

I said, “No. I am not hungry.”

He said, “A person does not eat because they are hungry. They eat because it is time to eat.”

I said, “Hmm.. ok.”

I go downstairs to see what’s up in the kitchen and dad said, “look, I went to Loblaws (grocery store) and got sweets from the bakery because it was nearby the bank.”

I said, “great.. more candy.”

He said, “eat some sweets now! I buy all this and you have to eat it. That’s why I work.”

Ok …………………………….. So if you want candy and eat for the sake of eating, just hang out with my dad. He will make you eat or make you feel guilty!

They said what?
