“My Son Is Turning into a Turtle!”

Summary

A parent continually finds their teenage son snacking and assumes he is eating all day. Each time the parent checks on the son, he claims to only be drinking water, yet he is somehow always eating whenever they enter the room. The parent accuses the son of lying about his snacking habits. When the parent catches the son chewing on a plastic bottle cap, they joke that he is turning into a turtle since turtles sometimes eat plastic due to food scarcity. The lighthearted exchange highlights the humorous dynamic between a perplexed parent and their ever-hungry teenage child.
