“I’m dazzled by her genius at packing several soul-crushing blows into one sentence: “ 6) Your mother is an idiot

Strange as it may seem, when I was quite young I asked mom why she liked the white meat on chicken better than the dark. She said it was because it is much juicier. I questioned her wisdom from that day forward.

You can only imagine how much I've questioned others...LOL

I hope this boy wakes up soon.

Yes, do not underestimate childrens innate ability to rebel against stupidity. The children of hippie-dippie granola eaters often end up as “Rush Babies”!

When I was a young kid I did not like to eat boiled cabbage.
We had a rather large garden and in that garden we had cabbage plants.
Thus, we had a lot of cabbage.
Once I asked my Mother why I had to eat cabbage since I did not like it.
She gave the eternal Mother advice that it was "good" for me.
I asked My Pop why he did not eat the cabbage.
He looked up at me and being the wry and somewhat terse Scotsman he was he said, "Makes me fart."
From this I learned two things:
Farting was not socially acceptable outside the family circle.
Food that my Mother thought was "good" for me might have certain disadvantages that I had better take into consideration.

This was the beginning of distrust and suspicion of authority figures that would develop over the years.
Strange as it may be; I now like boiled cabbage...especially with butter.
(I also rather enjoy letting loose a flamboyant flatulence on the odd occasion)
