Reminder: When it comes to mom's cooking, finish your plate!

I never realized until now, how important role breakfest, lunch, dinner or even just a cup of coffee plays when it's served by your mom. When it's served, don't brake your mother's heart - finish your plate and ask for seconds although you are already full. Why? Because you love her, and by refusing to eat all the food she has put on your plate, you refuse the love!

You don't think it's such a big deal? Think about it. When you were younger, did you ever went to a party or visit over your friend's home? You did? Good. Now, did your mom ever ask you: "Was there any dinner? What did they serve you?" Yes, this would be a question 90 % of moms ask as they want to know if and what has been served to her baby (that's you, you're going to be her baby even you're 45 years). If you say "yes, they had an amazing stake - Tiina's mom is such a great cook!", you're mom seems pleased and happy, but actually you've just stole her good night sleep. She's afraid her biggest nightmare has come true: someone else has fed you food you might like better than your own mom's! At this point I must warn you, if you ever do feel like the food served somewhere else than your mother's table is actually better, for heaven's sake don't tell it to her! Love her enough to lie, "yes, it was good but nothing compares to your stake mom!" NOTHING, pleases her more, because every mom wants to be the number 1 in her son's / daughter topten for favourite dishes.

My son is still a (real) baby but I can already relate to any mom's worry: what if he doesn't think my cooking is the best? What if he finds a wife who beats my sourcream-sweet chili-salmon 0-6?? Or what if they come together for a dinner and nobody wants to have a second round?? For my old poor state of mind by that time, I hope my son has the good heart to say: "Oh it's not the food mom, we're just already so full! Nothing compare's to your cooking, nothing!"
