She insisted on having an uncooked cranberry. Actually, she wanted a whole bowl of them.
I warned her that they were yucky. But she was determined and since I’m a Live and Learn Mom (a LALM, can we coin that? As in “Be a LALM and Carry On”???), I shrugged and said “Ok, but let me get my phone.”

Every. Single. Time.
