When we were kids, we had to behave——to go to A & W & EAT INSIDE THE CAR !!!!
A couple years ago, we went to a Mexican restaurant about a mile from home. My 16 year old hates Mexican food, but since I was paying, I didn’t care.
He sat down, looked at the menu, got up and walked home.
See ya. Better that then to pout.
We did find out a couple months later that he has a chronic inflammation disease (Chrohn’s) and one of the side effects when it flares up affects the emotions, especially with younger patients. Since his treatments began, those issues have pretty much disappeared, but he still hates Mexican and I still don’t care.
I like your parents.
