Funny Reason To Refuse Spinach

Jhon and I were talking about eating vegetables and I was telling him that I did not expect to love vegetables so much because I don’t like vegetables when I was a kid.

Jhon shared that he is okay with vegetables accept for one.

Spinach

His reason

He doesn’t want to be like Popeye.

I was puzzled because why not? In fact, children are supposed to be manipulated by like this character so that they will eat spinach because it gives him the ‘added’ strength.

And then he said “Have you seen his (fore)arms?”

As the image of Popeye remerges in my head, I began to laugh. He is right! Popeye technically has deformed forearms.

I just find Jhon’s perspective funny and different and got me thinking.

Sure, eating spinach makes you extra strong to beat up that jerk Bruno, but the side effects are that you have abnormal forearms.

END!
