My brother is ridiculous. The last thing he does each night before he goes to bed each night is eat a snack.
I just went into the kitchen to be welcomed by his head bouncing up to greet me with eye contact, and I talked with him for a minute.
During this interaction he revealed to me he had been looking for something to eat for the last thirty minutes. Stories-made-up-for-fun aside, he literally had been pacing around the kitchen between the cupboards, refridgerator, and pantry debating with himself what he should eat for a full half-hour. He is the most contemplative snack-selector I have ever met. Minutes later he reached the resolution of his snack-seeking plot with a pack of frozen hot dogs in hand.
He’s only nine right now, just think when he is old enough to go through the drive-thru at fast food restaurants. Poor Wendy’s employee. “Sir, please, it’s really not that important, just pick something.”
Greatnight!

Lol – forgetting the snack altogether would solve the indecision and be healthier.
I can just see the drive thru scene!
wow, i really expected he would go for the cereal like he usually does.
work with him to teach him to make decisions. trust me – i live with a family member who has a really tough time making decisions… and it is pretty hard to put up with over a long period of time…
i think you are ridiculous.
