   Oh my god Arun, I have to try so hard not to do that–sometimes I just can’t stop myself!

   glad its not just me…

   i could actually draw a sequel. M will buy it, start to eat it and then will dump it on the kitchen table after a few bites because she has had enough…

   Then ill come along and scoff down the rest!

   This happened tonight. M asked for fudge. We bought it (without my hysteria in this instance fortunately). M had one bite and decided it was too sweet. I ate it all… because… well because it was fudge and was too sweet.

   arun, That really cracked me up.

   I’m gonna put it on LifeLoveFood.com too. I’m on the hook for a banana smoothie… but no sugar!

    Hi Arun,

    I just stopped by to have a lovely visit at your webstie and found these fantastic cartoons. You are sooo clever! The food one is really fantastic. One I think all of us, moving along to the radical unschoolers end, can relate to. I was just saying to a friend how cool it would be to use your cartoon as the starter for a discussion topic on food and RU.

    Hey, if I ever get a book published will you do the cartoons for it? Actually, I imagine you’ll be doing your own book soon…..:)

    love Kim

    phew, when i posted this i thought, “maybe this is just me”.

    thanks Ginger & Angela… its nice to know that there are a few more banana smoothies with my name on them, even if i do have to go half way accross the world to get them (hmm not so good for food miles hey?)

    and thanks kim, i hope that means there is a book in the pipe line for you? That would be very cool!

    I am actually slowly starting to write a book (at this stage happening in my brain in the shower, on the toilet and long drives) but its actually a science fiction one with very little to do with parenting (well i guess pretty much all of the characters have parents though!).

    I dont think I could bare a whole book about my neurotic attempts at alternative parenting & unschooling… way too painful to wade through

    Hi Arun!

    My name is Wiwiet, I love this cartoon, and actually this is exactly what I always imagine how an unschooler mom describe in a comic strip or cartoon

    IF you don’t mind, I’ll add in to my multiply. with the “convincing dad” too

    Hiya Arun,
    I love your website!

    I have included this cartoon in our latest issue of Rotorua Parents Centre newsletter, Pitter Patter. I am sorry I cannot do a link to a printed newsletter but will include your website address for all and sundry to visit. And, of course, if I get the pleasure to meet you I’ll make you a banana smoothie!

    Thanks for the inspiration, truth and humour.
