Mrs Liveinabin tells us: My mum told me to eat my vegetables, or I wouldn't get any pudding. I'm 32 and told her I could do what I like. I ate my vegetables. Tell us about mums.

About 15 years ago at Thanksgiving dinner, we alternated holidays with my aunt & uncle who lived on Long Island. Whomever was visiting in a given year usually brought, fruit, a couple of pies, and something else.
This one year, my aunt brought pears. A rather innocent thing. It wasnt a Bosc, or a Bartlett. It was red. A red pear (several of them).
Mom - I've never seen or heard of a red pear before.
Me - Well mom, they come from Russia and they've only been allowed in the US for a couple of months.
Mom - Really?
Me - left speechless, then laughed like mad.
Mom was not amused. But everyone else seemed to be..
