MY TRUE STORY


One day there were two sisters driving with their Mom on the way home from visting Nana. The mother says, amidst conversation, that they are having shepherds pie for dinner. The oldest sister says "no Mommy, I don't like that". The youngest sister, trying not to frustrate her mother, just sighs. The mother reminds both of her daughters that they LIKE shepherds pie. The oldest daughter adamently debates this statement while the youngest sits quietly in the back seat hoping for a miraculous change of heart from her mother. The oldest daughter tries to convince her mother that Thai food is something we order once a week. The mother tells her while that is true, we only order food on 1) Thursday nights if it is Daddy's weekend with them, or 2) Friday nights if they stay home. The oldest daughter, knowing that she is not going to win this battle, proceeds to say how she'll just have cereal for dinner. The mother agrees that the cereal is a fine choice for dinner.

The mother cooks a lovely shepherds pie and dishes it out to her two daughters. She offers A-1 sauce to the oldest daughter telling her that this may make her meal more enjoyable. As all three sit quietly eating, the oldest daughter says "this is good, Mom". The mother smiles knowing all along she would like it. The youngest daughter gets up for seconds. She, too, says it is good.

The end.
