That made me laugh out loud because it's so true.
About 15 years ago we lived near a welfare family. One of the little girls, maybe 6-7 years old, was watching me peel potatoes and boil them for mashed potatoes.
She asked me what I was doing and I told her.
Then she dropped this bombshell...
Says she, “Why don’t you make them the homemade way? In the microwave?”
It was all I could do to keep from laughing. I explained to her that this was just a different kind of homemade way.
