Lettuce Pray

[Biff]

Last night I did my regular stint at our local Ronald Mc Donald hospice – cooking dinner for the residents. I’d done all the necessary shopping before hand, and as I was cooking up a Mexican (fajita) meal I thought a nice side salad would work. So I bought tomatoes, lettuce, onions, cucumber etc before I got there, and while there I was asked whether I needed a hand by a young lady resident. I accepted her kind offer, and asked her to prepare the salad. Half way through she asked me whether or not I was making coleslaw. I told her no – then she asked me whay I’d bought three cabbages instead of lettuce.

In my defence they looked like ice burg lettuces honest.

Anyway – when I got home and shared my guff with Ms Biff she informed me that I have a history with cabbages, according to my mother.

The story goes.........(wavy dream like scene)

....when I was quite young my mother sent me to the local grocers in order to buy a small cabbage. I arrived at the grocers and picked up a small cabbage and took it to the cash desk. The lady behind the desk asked me, "Is that all you want?". To which I replied, "yes". To my amazement she didn't charge me for it - so I went to the sweet shop and spent the cabbage money on sweets.

Full of smiles I trundled home and proudly presented the small cabbage to my mother. Thankfully my mother has a sense of humour, and she chuckled to herself while telling me that there was no way a brussel sprout would feed the entire family.

When Xhardcorex was about 4 he would jump up and down (like kids wanting lollies!) BEGGING me to buy Brussel Sprouts- now he's 14 and flatly refuses to eat them... I'm confused!

At least lettuces remained blissfully unapostrophised...

I think they are the most disgusting vegetable ever grown! My husband likes them (I refuse to have them in the house!) and his mother gets in a flap when we go there for dinner because I don't eat them. She panicked last time "oh no, what am I going to give you to eat then?" I just looked at her and said "along with the other seven vegetables, I'll have his pumpkin (he hates it, I love it) and he can have my Brussells sprouts - sorted!"

I believe you, but it is almost un believable. :rofl: Don't worry, according to my folks, I managed to drink a whole bottle of furniture polish when I was young.
