Eat Your Furts and Vegys

I discovered this little gem while going through a batch of old papers and drawings.  It must have been written even earlier than my first journal entry, as my spelling/grammar/handwriting is crazier than anything I wrote in '93.  I have no idea what inspired me to write this piece of healthy eating propaganda back in the day, but here it is: 

Eat Your Furts & Vegys

Once apon a time ther lived a littel boy whos name was Ben he had a sister named Lucy and he had a Mom and a Pop.  One day when they wher edding ther dinner they had meat and mashed potados whith butter streming of the cripsickn and they allso had carrets and appel and sallry.  

Ben did not like the carrets and appel and salary.  So he just did not eat them!  His Pop said "Ben eat your furts and vetebels." 

"I do not like them" said Ben

"O-boy!" Said Lucy, "I get his pece of cake!" 

"Cake?" Said Ben "I did not know we had cake!" 

"Well we do" said Mom. "Lucy and I made it wall you wer palying ball."

"Ooo.." said Ben.  "Can I have a littel bit ove butter on my fautes and vegys?"
