One pea, two bites mashed potatoes, three bites meatloaf, and chocolate cake... that's balance

Jack: "Mom, can I have dessert now?"

Me: "Did you eat your peas?"

Jack: "Well, some of them."

Me: "How many?"

Jack: "I don't zactly remember."

Me: "Well, after that first one, did you eat any more?"

Jack: "No. Mom, just give me some cake now."
