This is part of the conversation that Mom and I had immediately after her first lunch.
Mom: I'm hungry. I haven't eaten all day. Are you trying to starve me?
Me: You just ate 10 minutes ago.
Mom: I did NOT!
Me: I gave you rice, chicken, cheese and tomatoes.
Mom: You did NOT!
Me: Are you hungry?
Mom: Are you deaf?
Me: Apparently I'm stupid, too.
Mom: Apparently. I have not eaten all day.
I waited a few minutes.
Mom: I'm hungry. Are you trying to starve me again?
Me: Do you want me to fix you something?
Mom: Why? So you can poison me? No, thank you.
Me: Okay.
Mom: I'm hungry. I haven't eaten today.
Me: Yes, you have.
Mom: I HAVE NOT!
I made her a turkey and cheese sandwich with some applesauce.
Me: Mom? Here's your food.
Mom: I don't want that. I'm not hungry.
Me: You need to sit down and eat it.
Mom: I will NOT!
Me: You will sit down and eat what you asked for.
Mom: I will NOT!
Me: Okay. You don't have to eat it. Just sit and drink your water.
Mom (as she tries to hand me her plate): That man made this for you. Where do you want me to put it?
Me: Oh, you have no idea where I'd like you to put it.
Mom: What?
Me: I said to sit down and eat it.
Mom: This crap? I don't want this crap.
Me: Then just sit and look at it.
Mom: I'm hungry. I haven't eaten today. I've told you that 4 times and you don't care!
Mom: I've asked you four times what I should do with this!
Me: Four times?
Mom: Yes. And I can prove it.
Me: How can you prove it.
Mom: That Easter guy came and took the tag off of these socks and he said so.
Me: You win.
During the "discussion" she ate half the sandwich and all of the applesauce.
I'll take the wins where I can find them. Now, I just have to find where she stashed the other half of the sandwich.
