Maybe she thought her daughter was a vampire and thought it best to assault her with a cruciferous vegetable.

My experience with a New Jersey woman bordered on terrifying, so this broccoli thing comes as no surprise.

I would never trust a New Jersey woman with any sharp objects!

We need a five day waiting period on broccoli. If it saves just one dinner....

Too bad the daughter didn’t have a 16-Ton weight handy.
