Backstory: My mother is notorious for never having any edible food in her house. We’re not sure how she survives.
Me: i’ll come over but i bet you don’t even have anything for breakfast
Mom: I do too! I have lots of food!
Me: Yeah?
Mom: I have an egg
(pause)
Mom: I have brownies!
Me: Really? I’ll eat brownies for breakfast no prob
Mom: Oh, they’re not made, it’s a mix.
Mom: And it calls for two eggs, oops. Maybe you should eat before you get here.
Me: I have no idea how I lived to adulthood in your care.
Hilarious – and I wonder how you survived as well.

Its so good to know that my mother isn’t the only one like this! Though I doubt my mother would have an egg or brownie mix. :) How DO they survive?!

I had a friend at college who thought the cafeteria food was the best thing she’d ever eaten…

I am a guilty Mom. My daughter, now in college has found allrecipes.com and is becoming a GREAT cook.
