I've been thinking...
Well, I'm supposed to be interpreting right now, but they have a test today so I decided to write about something I was trying to figure out last night as I was trying to go to bed. I always wondered why was I a picky eater?? I'm the only one in my family that won't eat just anything. And I've come to the conclusion that it's not only the taste I don't like. See, I hate mashed potatoes, but I love baked ones and there's not much of a difference in taste to me so why do I HATE mashed potatoes?? Well, it's the texture I don't like. I figured out I just don't like mushy things! So you're probably thinking well there is probably many reasons why she doesn't like mashed potatoes not just because it's mushy? But no, you know I love pickles, but just imagine them in the texture of mashed potatoes but the same exact flavor. It taste the same!! I don't know about you but I wouldn't even try pickled mashed potatoes! Even though it would taste exactly the same, the mushiness would throw off that juicy, salty taste of a cold pickle!
But then again it could be my parent's fault for fixing me something else if I didn't like what my mom cooked at dinner. But that stopped quick, and I remember Mom making me sit at the dinner table until I've eaten all my vegetables and sometimes that would take a couple of hours of gagging and trying to get my Dad or my little chihuahua to eat it for me or trying to take a big gulp, swish it down real quick without having to taste it! I even tried spreading the little bit of beans she served me across my entire plate so it didn't look as if I had that much left. Dad would have pity on me most of the time and when Mom wasn't looking, he'd take a couple of bites and to me any little bit would help! I even bribed my sisters into eating them for me. I'd just say "I'll clean your room if you eat my vegetables!! PLEASEEEE!" But they didn't have pity on me like Dad did. And if it were my sisters that helped it would be Tonette. She's a food disposal, seriously. I'm envious of how she can taste ANYTHING and like it. I barely ever got dessert :( If they were eating dessert, and I didn't finish yet; I couldn't have any. But I have to admit I was stubborn at times, and I figured out if I just sit there until bedtime pretending I was making every effort to eat, Mom would just let me go to bed!! I did everything I could to not eat vegetables especially beans, and I'm still that way today and I wish I weren't. But anyways, veggies make me gag and in this case I think it's the taste, smell, texture, appearance, anything and everything about them that I hate.
Anyways, I'm not sure what I'm doing this afternoon. I need to go to bestbuy to get a software package since I had to clear everything off of my computer. So Dad and I will probably do that as soon as we get out of class. Also, David is coming in to town so I'm hoping we'll be able to hang out! I haven't seen him in almost a week, and I miss him! But his brother's in town so he'll probably be spending time with him. Well gots to go class is about to end! :D
