I always was fond of eating and drinking, even as a child--especiallyeating, in those early days. I had an appetite then, also adigestion. I remember a dull-eyed, livid-complexioned gentlemancoming to dine at our house once. He watched me eating for about fiveminutes, quite fascinated Olympique De Marseille Tröja seemingly, and then he turned to my fatherwith--"Does your boy ever suffer from dyspepsia?""I never heard him complain of anything of that kind," replied myfather. "Do you ever suffer from dyspepsia, Colly wobbles?" (Theycalled me Colly wobbles, but it Luuk de Jong Jersey was not my real name.)"No, pa," I answered. After which I added:
"What is dyspepsia, pa?"My livid-complexioned friend regarded me with a look of mingledamazement and envy. Then in a tone of infinite pity he slowly said:
"You will know--some day."My poor, dear mother used to say she liked to see me eat, and it hasalways been a pleasant reflection to me since that I must have givenher much gratification in that direction.

How they must despise us men, who require to sit quiet for a couple ofhours after dining off a Marquinhos Jersey spoonful of clear soup and Lasten the wing of achicken!
But the boys have not all the advantages on their side. A boy neverenjoys the luxury of being satisfied. Nike Kyrie 3 A boy never feels full. He cannever stretch out his legs, put his hands behind his head, and,closing his eyes, sink into the ethereal blissfulness that encompassesthe well-dined man. A dinner makes no difference whatever to a boy.
To a man it is as a good fairy's potion, and after it the worldappears Paul-Georges Ntep Jersey a brighter and a better place. A man who has dinedsatisfactorily experiences a yearning love toward all hisfellow-creatures. He strokes the cat quite gently and calls it "poorpussy," in tones full of the tenderest emotion. He sympathizes withthe members of the German band outside and wonders Mika Vayrynen Jersey if they are cold;and for the moment he does not even hate his wife's relations.
A good dinner brings out all the softer side of a man. Under itsgenial influence the gloomy and morose become jovial and chatty.
Sour, starchy individuals, who all the rest of the day go aboutlooking as if they lived on vinegar and Epsom salts, break out intowreathed smiles after dinner, and exhibit a tendency to pat smallchildren on the head and to talk to them--vaguely--about sixpences.
