Eating Reminder
FOUND by Trigfunctions
in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Found this in my parking garage. I think it's a reminder to someone who is pet sitting, but my girlfriend thinks it's a reminder to a pregnant woman.

I think it's a note from Mom to her Daughter-in-law!
But deep down, aren't they really the same thing? At least for a little while..
haha, I think maybe it's a guy thing, because as soon as I read it, even before I read your caption, I thought of pet-sitting
Ya, def for the pets... unless its for a mother to be thats anorexic lady :)
It might be to a daughter-in-law, but only if you call your mother-in-law uncle.
I remember in high school my mom leaving a note like this to my 16 year old brother about my 6 year old brother!
what I don't understand is the emphasis on 'EATS'. 'He EATS when you do. Doesn't drink/sleep/go clubbing/stand on his head when you do or anything else you might be thinking. OK?!'
Maybe it's a girl/mom thing, but I thought of this as a note to a pregnant lady right away. (Maybe it was attached to a plate of healthy snacks someone was foisting on a pregnant woman. A bit preachy, then, I guess)
I imagine if it were for a pregnant woman, it would be "he eats WHAT you eat." Plus, what uncle thinks about his neice's fetus (wow, that sounds really cool when you say it out loud!).
Although, the EAT part is so emphasized, I wonder what happened to the poor "him" the last time someone pet sat!
I dont think its a note from mom cause it says Uncle Chris
I think it's for sure pet sitting, but whenever I pet sit I get long letters explaining every detail about the animals day. I love how this is short and to the point in a creative way. and I love the exclamation points, especially after Uncle Chris!
Maybe Uncle Chris is babysitting, and Mom wants to remind him that Little Jonny eats at the same time his uncle does? I read the last sentence as "Thank you Uncle Chris!" instead of "Thanks, from Uncle Chris".
My first thought was that it was from a mom to an incapable father (ie don't forget to feed your child), but of course the Uncle Chris blows that theory.
I'm wondering if the receiver of this note has a really crappy diet. Perhaps she eats way too much junk and Uncle Chris is a health-food nut and/or genuinely concerned about what the junk might do to the fetus.
But
It seems that the thanks is very cavalier about the seriousness of a pregnant mother eating for two, and the fact that Uncle Chris knows that the eater in question is a "He" (if someone had such a crappy diet, I doubt they would care about finding out the sex of the baby).
So I think the individual eating will be a puppy and the receiver is possibly house-sitting.
I think the recipient has a big fat compulsive eater for a brother, and this is a warning to guard his (or her) own food with his (or her) life.
(Is that sufficient inclusiveness for all you women's studies degree holders out there? Or do the parentheses marginalize the potential femaleness of the sibling in question?)
Whoa...I have an Uncle Chris.
I read this find as Charming and Cool Uncle Chris letting his favorite Niece Pet Sit. She has done this often due to the shortness of the note. Now, how often does said neice and exotic Pet eat?
I knew a woman who wouldn't feed her kids until she was hungry, wouldn't put 'em to bed until she was tired. And if she was cold, she'd tell her kid, "Go put on your coat."
the exclamation is after the name, not after "thanks". Uncle chris is babysitting his sisters kid. He is probably a teenager.
just a guess
i think its from someone to uncle chris. i think theyre saying, "thanks for taking care of my pet uncle chris!"
why else would there be an exclamation point at the end?
Perhaps it IS a note about eating well during pregnancy, but my gut says it's a note reminding Uncle Chris that the DOG eats when HE does.
My guess is that's it's a BIIIG dog, and what's understood in the note is "he eats when you eat...or he eats you!"
To Ro:
Hehehehe!
I bet Uncle Chris is the woman's brother, and he's signed it "Uncle Chris" because he's excited about being an uncle.
it's signed Uncle Chris b/c the fetus is the niece/nephew. that's what i think. making the mom to be chris' sister. makes sense to me.
The emphasis on EATS makes me think that someone's not supposed to be eating, but does when the recipient does. Maybe Uncle Chris is babysitting his overweight nephew who isn't supposed to snack but won't be able to help himself if Uncle Chris pulls out the potato chips.

I'm not sure which part of the sentence you thought sounded coolest, but I definitely think Niece's Fetus would be a good name for a band.
speaking of eating, where's eggs?
Flargy your killing me!
This sounds like something one would say to a husband unfamiliar with being in charge of the children for a few days.
y'know, there's an angle here that we haven't explored. Perhaps it's about oral sex. Maybe Chris is trying to teach his neice to demand reciprocation as a liberated woman.
Kinda creeps me out because I have a Uncle Chris. Hah just like a lot of other people do.
Am I the only one that was thinking "tapeworm"?
I definitely think it's about pet-sitting. Why else would Uncle Chris say "thanks!"?
This looks like something my dad would write to someone watching my brother or our dog. And the handwriting is similar to my dad's. Oh, and my dad is an Uncle Chris.
But I can't remember the last time he was in Ft. Lauderdale for any reason, so it's probably just a coincidence.
