OKay, I thought of something...
My mom is always saying that I'll blame everything on her telling me this too.
So I was watching Full House one day and they were having spaghetti for dinner. Michelle shovels the spaghetti into her mouth and Danny says, "No, Michelle, we don't eat spaghetti like that. We use the spoon as our special helper." So he shows her how to use spoon as a brace while you twirl the spaghetti up into a neat ball on your fork.
Well, I had never heard of this before so I went to my mom and asked, "Mom, can the spoon be the special helper?"
She had no idea what was talking about and she said, "Uh... no."
So I was really sad and the next time we ate spaghetti, I made sure to not use the spoon!
Years later I told her that and she just cracked up because she hadn't a clue what I was talking about with this "special helper" biz!
Now she says I'll be telling my therapist it was all because my mom told me the spoon couldn't be my special helper!
