I liked coffee black, but my grandma kept trying to put cream in mine. She said if I drank too much coffee black it would stunt my growth. At 16 I was 5'8" (grandma and mom were 5'2") Oh, by the way, my grandpa was over 6' and my dad was 6'5".
Eating the crusts was another white lie. No curly hair for me, and 3 brothers didn't have to eat the crust if they didn't want it.
All 3 got curly hair, but I did get even. They were 40 and white haired, and me at 83 still not competely white haired.
