day 20: a childhood anecdote

via
when i was a kid i haaaaaaated tomatoes. 
the smell, the texture, the taste and the red juice that came from them that reminded my four year old self of blood.

yuck.

as was popular in the eighties my parents took me for allergy testing.  little drops of foods and dyes under the tongue and then patiently waiting for a reaction.
i knew which one was tomato.  i waited for them to that drop under my tongue.  and then, when asked, "how do you feel, chrissy?  any reaction?"  i replied

"i have a headache."

which i didn't.  bold faced lie.  but i was never made to eat or touch a tomato again until i chose to.

little lying brat.

i am linking up with '30 days hath november'
