Family dinner by Vujančević Staša VI3

MOM: I’m tired of this junk food! Tonight we’re eating something healthy.

DAD: (pretending to faint) No! Not the “H” word!

KID: The “H” word? You mean healthy?

DAD: Shhh! Don’t say it out loud! My appetite will run away!

MOM: (rolling her eyes) Honestly, you act like all vegetables are monsters!

DAD: They are! Have you seen broccoli? It looks like a tiny tree that wants to attack me!

KID: (laughs) Dad, it’s just food, it doesn’t even move.

MOM: Exactly, maybe if you ate more of it, you’d have the energy to stop complaining.

DAD: I have plenty of energy… from pizza!

KID: Yeah, and a pizza-shaped belly too! (teasing)

DAD: Hey, that is not true!

MOM: (smiling) Okay, enough! Kid, what do you think we should eat?

KID: Easy! We’ll make something everyone likes — like pizza with vegetables on top.

DAD: Wait, that exists?

KID: Yep, it’s called “compromise”.

MOM: I like it.

DAD: As long as the vegetables don’t start talking.

KID: Don’t worry, Dad. If broccoli says “Hi!”, I’ll protect you.

(They all laugh.)
