   Me:  I’m not saying you’re fat! I’m saying you’ve filled out
a little.  Cade:  I weigh the same as I did when I lived here.
In fact, I think all the vegetables and green stuff you made me
eat probably made me fatter.  Me:  Not possible. Raw veggies
CAN’T make you fatter.  Cade: Of course they can!  Me: No, they
can’t. Seriously. If you ate greens from the minute you woke up
till the minute you went to bed, you would LOSE weight.  Cade:
Give me a break, Mom. That isn’t true. If you ate lots of big
bowls full, you would get fat.  Huge bowl of spinachMe: No. If
you ate your entire CAR full of spinach, every day, you would
actually lose weight. It has basically no calories, and no fat,
but greens have tons of vitamins and minerals and stuff.
spinach factsCade: [laughing like I am totally ridiculous]  Me:
Here, let’s Google it.  I Googled “how many calories does
spinach have?” On the screen, what popped up was this:  A
serving is a cereal bowl full of spinach, and it has–wait for
it—SEVEN CALORIES.  Me: Yeah.
