Almond mom and family have arrived.

Yes, you speak for all teen athletes.

Not all teen athletes, of course not. Teen athletes are individuals. But if you're feeding a group and you don't know their individual athletes, then you over estimate rather than underestimate.

It's also not clear whether there will be other food there, and whether they are going someplace where there will be another breakfast. Also, are they coming from their home, or a hotel? My kids would probably have eaten some protein already, if they were coming from home, because they wake up starving. Other kids are different.

You may not buy them often but people bring them to sports games as snacks, birthday parties, sleep overs, kids get a lot of donuts whether you give them as a treat or not. I can’t tell you how many of my kids early sports games began or ended with donuts.

Your son and his friends are weirdos if they're not going to pig out over Thanksgiving weekend.

Teens don’t get as excited over Thanksgiving foods as their parents, weirdo.

Donuts are Thanksgiving food?

Apparently since that’s what’s being served on “Thanksgiving weekend”. Donuts are what kids are served all the time. It’s hardly a special Thanksgiving weekend food.

And this is why we're Ozempic Nation.

This thread got mean. Two dozen donuts. Would be nice if there were other options like bananas or yogurt.

Not when you’re looking, anyway.

My athlete son wouldn’t want any donuts.

He would eat 3 plain glazed donuts before hopping in a long car ride, and might grab a fourth for the road.

Is he the one the girl he asked out called unwell looking?
