Copper Creek Chit Chat, Part #4

That's pretty close Rick. In our house it was you will eat it. My sis and I decided not to eat dinner one night (liver *gags*) and had to sit at the table staring at it until Dad sent us to bed. In the morning Mom gave it back to us for breakfast. Cold. OMG. Still didn't eat it. When Dad saw us staring at it for dinner again he took pity on us, tossed it out and took the two of us to McDonalds.

Liver was my limit (gag). Got caught dropping it on the floor at my aunt's house for the nonexistent dog. It was the ONLY "food" I could skip at home. I can now eat it only if I cook it, in bacon grease, after being dipped in flour/Old Bay. Chicken livers are TOTALLY a different story! Love those!

Oh, and the ex hated it. So when the boys were little, it was our "special" dinner when dad had duty! It worked!

Ugh, the internet keeps going down while I'm trying to get the shipping done.

Actually, that was the rule in my house when I was a kid, too. I had one sister who spit out everything they gave her, and I told her after we were grown that she ruined more mealtimes than famine ever did. She sat for HOURS sometimes when the rest of us had mercifully finally finished eating and been excused. When I had my own family, I changed it to "eat what's for dinner or don't eat". The only exception was when one of my sons genuinely gagged (and you can tell if they're faking a gag). Gag on the same food twice and you get a pass. Each kid got 2-3 passes, for the rest: see rule #1.

And yes...Dads who know when its time for a MacDonald's run...RULE.

We ate McDonald's every time Mom was in the hospital. Dad was supposed to cook for us but he'd just grin and show us the car keys. He rocked when she was gone.

One more package, hang in there internet!

 

[Drottwiler]

At our house everything was put on the table. Only rule was you had to eat all of everything you shoveled on your plate. So the problem was when your eyes were bigger than your stomach.

Good morning. Well looks like I'm stuck with cable for now. My internets to slow. Would need an HD antenna, and a box for each TV I'm guessing.

 

[FlyingV]

Good morning! It's sunny out today.

In bound package arriving Friday? I wonder if it is that new pickup truck we just ordered. Oh, wait, we didn't order anything. It was just a dream...

Good morning everyone!

Good morning and happy hump day!

High 60's here today.

[FlyingV]

I'm bailing. It's way too nice to be stuck inside today. There's a snowstorm coming this weekend, so I want to enjoy a bit of the nice weather.

*poof*

 

[punkinduster]

This weather is the greatest! I can't remember when it was like this in Feb.

 

[FlyingV]

My chickens gifted me with 2 eggs today. Hopefully this means the egg drought is ending.

 

[Drottwiler]

Same here one from each one. They've been doing good the last 2 weeks.

 

[Drottwiler]

Good morning. Another beautiful day.

 

[FlyingV]
