The food of the Gods

I’m going to be brief now, but I just thought of asking you to appeal to my mum not to stop eating chocolate! Remind her that chocolate is a girl’s best friend, and that it contains many healthy ingreadients that are important for an unborn baby! Last time my mum went to have a control, her doctor was about to faint (she’s a very sensitive lady) for the fact that my mum had put on too much weight the last month (3 kg). As my mum doesn’t have a scale at home, she had no idea, and was blissfully ignorant of the excessive weightgaining. She thought that it was only the belly that was growing, and not the fat-storages! The doctor interrogated my mum, asking if she had been indulging too much in chocolate, but my mum bluntly said “no way” and sustained that her consumption of the forbidden sweet had been very moderate lately. When my parents were out of the doctor’s office my dad (who had remained silent during the visit….with a smirky smile on his face) reminded my mum of

• the chocolate fondue that they’d had only few days earlier,
• the rest of the 500g chocolate block used for the fondue that had disappeared from the kitchen a few days later,
• the gianduia that they had got at Bologna and had disappeared very soon after,
• the Nesquick that finds it’s way into the milk that my mum drinks every afternoon to strenghten my bones….

and so he went on for some time (being an engineer, my dad is a very precise person), making my mum blush of shame...! In the end she realized that in fact, she might have gone slightly over the limits of what could be considered a healthy chocolate-intake lately. And as my mum has difficulty following moderate lines of chocolate intake, she decided to cut it out completely, at least until christmas (or until she makes the Sara Bernhard’s biscuits..whichever comes first). Last week, e.g. at the pregnancy-course, she was the only mum eating an apple during the coffee-break, whereas the other mum’s nibbled chocolate and sweet biscuits….! The only problem is that me, XY Sergioson, has grown to like that sweet taste of chocolate so much, and now that my mum no longer eats it, I miss it….! A lot! So please tell my mum to restart eating chocolate, or I will stay breech until the birth…!
