My mom forced me to try the "jello salad" at church one Wednesday night, which had shaved carrots in it along with some grapes and I think there was even some rice in it too..(who puts rice in jello???) anyway, I took one bite and commenced to puking my guts out right there at the table in front of the whole church. Needless to say, mom never made me eat jello again!
ReplyDeleteThis is a terribly moving tale. I hope you had some kind of therapy for it. No child should be subjected to Jell-o Salad. And rice? RICE? Even I have not experienced RICE in Jell-o Salad. Now I may need therapy.
