Primo: Oh! I
forgot to tell you. Guess what my mom and dad are complaining about now?
Me: What?
Primo: You used
bad cabbage. You are a Bad Cabbage User.
Me: What?
Primo: Bad
cabbage. My mom said you used bad cabbage.
Me: What is she
talking about? What is bad cabbage?
Primo:
Apparently, when you made the coleslaw, you used bad cabbage. It had brown spots
on it.
Me: Yes.
Because cut cabbage rusts on the cut part, which is why I trim the brown part
off before I use the rest for food. Which is how normal people do it.
Primo: My mom
thought you should have thrown all of it away.
Me: Oh Lord.
She thought I should have thrown away an entire half cabbage?
Primo: I guess
so.
Me: Waste half
a cabbage? Because of some bad spots that can be cut off?
Primo: Yes.
Me: That’s
wasteful. And your mother – an environmentalist.
Primo: At least she is not a Bad Cabbage User. And
she and my dad think cloth napkins are really unhygienic.
Me: Yeah, I already had that conversation with her.
I can’t win, can I?
