It's good to know that other mothers did this too. With mine it was salmon patties. I hated her salmon patties and refused to eat them. Once, and only once I made the mistake of laying some change on the table and saying, "Mail mine to them." I thought it was pretty funny and after a day or two when the swelling went down I could actually laugh about it. LOL Mom was a wonderful person but she just didn't take well to back talk or a sassy mouth.
Mine didn't like to be sassed either. I picked myself up off the floor only once, and after that she didn't hear my thoughts. I well remember sitting at the table until bedtime cause I wouldn't eat the cauliflower!!
