conv: I told my son to not eat any snacks before dinnertime. He raided the snack cupboard_comma_ eating all my favourite snacks_comma_ and he made a mess out of it.  My son really needs to cut down on the amount of sugary snacks he has! Who is supplying these snacks?  Well_comma_ my wife gets them on deals_comma_ so likes to hoard them in the cupboard.  Sounds like a cupboad cleaning is necessary. If they ain't around_comma_ they can't be eaten.
