It was deemed easier to cook a burger patty than clean up 'ralph'.
We were Legion.
What was our parent's saying that accompanied our finicky whines? "This isn't a restaurant".
How about "Think about those starving children in...?". Or, "Eat it, or you won't get desert".

Ketchup supposedly makes eggplant edible for a child. This is patently false. It is the ketchup that is inedible, not the eggplant.
It's funny how one letter can totally change the meaning of a sentence.
This is how it should have read (damned non-edit function): No need to treat the stuff like they are museum pieces.
Says who...? You can keep your eggplant. I like my foul eggs.
I often use this 'psychology' with the cats when they turn there noses up to a can of food and start to whine.
"Think of what the cats at the shelter have to eat!"
I would say to them, "want to find out..?".

I read it as "No need" the first time...
Being dyslexic, I tell people, do what I mean, not what I say.

Lingering traces of the aphasia I've carried since 1967 mean there is frequently a difference between what I know I see and what I think I see. Sometimes it's as great an asset as it is a nuisance.

I don't have aphasia. I just have selective sight. With my hearing aids, I have selective hearing as well. It's great to see and hear only what you like

My retired former primary care doctor busted me to Mrs. Tango after I had my physical one year, when she told her that I've got the same excellent hearing as a four-year-old. Then -- damned wimmins -- Mrs. Tango told her, "And the emotional temperament of one, too." Ha, ha, ha. A fine old time they had. But now I can't use diminished hearing as an excuse.I don't have aphasia. I just have selective sight. With my hearing aids, I have selective hearing as well.

Sure you can. I've played bass since 1967. The precise frequency range that has been lost is the same as that of the human female voice. that's my story-I'm stickin' tuit.
"Ok, here, they can have it."
My stepmother really hated me from the very deepest bottom of her heart because none of here strategies worked with me
Actually, I didn't like chocolate pudding and such anyway
Wouldn't have worked with any of our cats. If they decided they wouldn't eat something they would stick to this decision. Apart from that, this is not the type of relationship we envisioned.
Also, as a zoo biologist once put it: we won't feed cheap food to expensive cats
Depending on the actually species, we often prepared game or fish for them.
Bacon wrapped bacon! Either you like bacon or you are wrong.
You should read comedian Jim Gaffigan's book on food.
You were lucky. I was forced to eat it but, I fixed them, I swallowed liver pieces whole. Did the same with kidney.
I don't eat internal organs or reptiles except for etouffee with alligator. Nummy!
