Coach Shane here, everybody.
It is Wednesday. Oh boy.
It's hump day the middle of the week.
I hope you're doing well, you know, one thing that helps me get through the week is my very special drink I've talked about it before it's called Magic Mind and basically it's a green drink lots of vegetables really high -energy vegetables it's fantastic if you're interested in a discount I can get you one but anyway that's actually related to today's expression oh it's such a good one and I although I love meat I'm a meat lover we need a little bit of this in our diet too.
I think! Enjoy today's expression.
Let's go back in time!
Today's expression is a word, and when I was young I hated this word but now I love it.
veggies. veggies. veggies.
ve -e -g -g -i -e -s. veggies.
veggies is the daily English word for vegetables.
Of course, saying vegetables is proper English, but many times we say veggies.
Yesterday for dinner, I went to my mom's house, and she gave me some veggies.
There green beans, a salad, and a potato.
Those were the veggies.
It was delicious. My mom loves veggies.
When I was young every meal had veggies.
I hated veggies. I didn't want to eat veggies.
No, I wanted cookies and ice cream and cake.
My mom would give me maximum two cookies after dinner, if I ate all my veggies.
Now it's no problem.
Then it was a big problem.
Let's check out the dialogue.
Want some? What you got?
Veggie sticks? Yeah veggies are good for you.
No thanks. The only veggie sticks I a French fries.
Oh yeah veggie sticks.
What are veggie sticks?
It's when you take a carrot and cut it into long pieces or celery C -E -L -E -R -Y long pieces or a cucumber, a cucumber long pieces and you eat them as a snack.

French fries are not veggie sticks.
Well, yes they are.
