My Speech: How To Hide Vegetables

How to hide vegetables

You see a plate full of vegetables and you wonder, how are you going to eat all of this? Red, green yellow, orange, no matter how colorful they are, they are still veges. Even the thought of it is disgusting.



I’m sure you have all been in this situation at least one time in your life but have you ever tried to hide vegetables?
Hiding vegetables takes some skill because you have to be able to slip your veges away without your caregivers seeing.
In this speech I will teach you the art of ‘hiding vegetables’ ...



Firstly, you must never ever say “Ewww!!” when you see vegetables on your plate, for if you do your mothers beady eyes will be on you watching your every move and if that happens, well, game over.
When the plate arrives with the disgusting vegetables say “that looks delicious.” 


She feels good and she, hopefully, with trust you to be mature and eat the veges.  Trust is key.



Now to start phase two.
When you know your mum and dad have left the table you must quickly and quietly put your vegetables in your mouth, don’t eat them just store them. Then you must go to the nearest toilet, close the door and spit the veges out into the toilet bowl. Wait about 30 seconds and then flush the toilet. Walk out and wash your hands in the sink (this will make it seem more realistic)




When you walk out, go back and sit on your chair, then pretend to eat your vegetables. After about one minute, take your plate up to your parents and say something around the lines of “look mum and dad I’m finished, may I please leave the table,”




 hopefully they will believe that you have actually eaten your vegetables and that you are a mature trustworthy child.
There other ways to hide vegetables, but that one is the most foolproof. One those other ways I will explain to you now.

  The book

The book trick is probably my number one way to hide vegetables. First you make sure that a book is within reach of you on the table.



Next, make sure your book or calender is upright so that it looks like a triangular prism without a top or bottom. Now, when your parents are not looking, slip your veges into the corner of the book, then, turn the page of the book so that your vegetables are concealed. after dinner take the book out of the room and then tip all the vegetables in to the bin.



In this speech I will have hopefully taught you how to hide vegetables. So next time you see a plate full of vegetables, never fear ‘cause hope is there. And with these amazing strategies, you will never have to eat another vegetable again!

  1. Jess, I loved your speech. It was a great topic for your audience, and you had so many amusing ideas. I think perhaps you have tried a few of these? I always had to eat mine... even if they had gone cold on my plate and everyone else had finished. There was no hiding from my mum!
