Dear Madigan,This post will highlight one of your many food issues. So...you don't like pineapple. How do I know? Because there was a big production at dinner tonight! The deal? You had to eat your pineapple before getting dessert, which of course would involve ice cream in some manner. Unfortunately, dinner consisted of a cheddar stuffed cheeseburger you assisted in creating, rice (which you won't eat), and the dreaded pineapple.
Through laughter and tears, we tried to get to the bottom of the pineapple problem. Was it the flavor? No. Then...what? The fact that it was 'so yellow and coming at me like spaceships' was part of it. AND...'the hangy things.' Ah, yes. The dreaded hangy things. Who wants that?! So...no pineapple for you...but no dessert either, even though you choked down two whole pieces. UNTIL...you ate half a banana. Thank goodness for that.
It scares me how much you and I are alike. Did I ever tell you about my issues with stewed tomatoes? Shouldn't have been watching open heart surgery with a mouth full of that, I'll tell you! And oranges...eating them can sometime make me gag. It's funny how much kharma gets you in the end.
So remember...pineapples take about 18 months to grow, therefore you shouldn't waste them.
Love, Mom
