Yuck

“Things we learned to love because we loved someone else.”

 

Cabbage – almost choked to death swallowing it

Liver – ‘lost’ it under the table while kitty waited patiently

Peas – wrapped in paper napkins, hidden behind the toilet

Strawberries – seeds in my teeth, couldn’t brush them away 

(no floss in the '40s)

Turnips – waited for the churning-turning of my belly

It took years - every 'foodie thing' she pushed 

(I hated) 

I learned to love.

 Thanks Mom.
