13 Vegetables That Were Much Better to Throw Across the Table at My Sister Than Acutally Eat!

1. Lima Beans (excellent flicking potential)
2. Brussel Sprouts
3. Green Beans
4. Baby Carrots
5. Beets
6. Mushrooms
7. Broccoli
8. Cauliflower
9. Mixed vegetables (by the spoonful)
10. Eggplant
11. radishes if they were in my salad
12. Onions if they were in anything else
13. I would have thrown spinach if it wouldn't have been so squishy (so i just hid it in my pocket instead)

Can you tell I wasn't a big fan of vegetables?

3. Sometimes I fall over (LOL)


4. They are awkward (just watch me trying to get them, then me, into my car)


5. My animals are afraid of them


6. I can't carry anything in my hands with them


7. Turtles lap me (aka I'm slow)


8. If someone moves them, I'm stuck
