This is a happy household! If I had a mother who sent me for instant potatoes, and then said, "now go get us a bag of potatoes" I'd find that very funny, as a kid and as a grown-up. It's no fun to have a mother who's efficient and says, "I bought instant potatoes already-- I'd hardly buy a bag of potatoes, what's wrong with you?" Those mothers are a dime a dozen. It's so unusual-- all you can do in response is point out you're better than her?? I love her saying, "that cake we like." Cosy. Now you're all six years older and you agree with me.

Sad, how un-Murikin, no moon pies, devil dogs, or fried pies.
