Cliff and the Calories

Fri Nov 6, 2009, 11:18 PM
One of my favorite authors (and ~InvizQueen's, of course) is Robert A. Heinlein. In an anthology book I bought for her, there contained a story titled "Cliff and the Calories."

The gist of the story is a girl who feels that she needs to lose weight in order to win over a boy. During a family trip, she visits a roadside restaurant where she ends up breaking her diet. By some circumstance I don't recall, she ends up meeting the boy she has eyes for, Cliff, and they discuss her weight.

Apparently Cliff is a regular lover of the voluptuous and the story ends with Cliff encouraging the girl to eat a preposterously large ice cream concoction.

Whether it was just a plot device, or Mr. Heinlein truly appreciated large women, is a mystery. However, such a story warmed the cockles of my heart, and I thought that I would share with you as ~InvizQueen shared with me.

For those curious, the name of the anthology is "Expanded Universe." Go figure, huh?

It's up in the air when a new InvizKing story will explode its way onto the Internet. Stay turned for future updates.

Is there anybody going to listen to my story,
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry,
Still you don't regret a single day.
