My Man's Mum -- source of my man's lousiness

Like mother like son. Yester-morning, I was woken up by his mother's friendly phone call about giving me half a chicken and some BBQ pork. Well, I really don't feel like cooking and that sounds just wonderful. So "yes" and the food arrived 10 minutes after. -- An uncut half-chicken!

That reminds me of an incident 2 decades ago. We had home economics. A group of 3 had some problems. They assigned each person to bring one ingredient for the spring-rolls cooking. The one who was responsible for (cooked) chicken got a fresh raw chicken -- uncooked and uncut. I suggested that they got it cooked during lunch hour and cut out 8 ounces of fillet. In the class, the problem group came over and said that the raw-chicken-girl didn't do what I suggested. I told them to beg for a stripe of chicken from each group. Then, the teacher yelled, "WHAT!?" The girl who bought the raw chicken took the chicken to the teacher and asked what to do with it. "Which group are you in?" Teacher went over to the group which had already got the chicken from each of us. She turned to the poor girl (poor in intelligence) and said, "You will stand at the corner and got zero for this class."

My agility saved the other two girls but not myself. How would I have expected the same thing will happen to ME after 2 decades with someone 2 decades older than I am?
