Here’s a funny story:This morning I was washing my face and then I usually put Vitamin C serum

Here’s a funny story:This morning I was washing my face and then I usually put Vitamin C serum all over my face, and I just remembered my mother and her #tomatoslice . There were no facial serums when I was growing up and my mother would put fruits on her face. If there was a juicy fruit in the house, she’d have it on her face. Well, it was mostly peaches and tomatoes. So in our kitchen there’d always be a cut piece of tomato or peach laying around on tiny plates. •Well, one day a friend came over for sleepovers. And she was just crazy about tomatoes! So we wake up in the morning and go in the kitchen for breakfast. My mother was bustling around - she was the bustling sort. In the kitchen, tomatoes everywhere! My parents grew tomatoes, so they were freshly picked, yam! So, there are freshly-picked, ripe, giant tomatoes everywhere. On a counter next to a flower pot, there was a tiny plate with a slice of tomato on it - I knew it! My mother’s face tomato. Yack!! I tried not to see it. And my friend says: “Oh, look, a slice of tomato. Can I eat it?” •Ok, so you have to understand that I was very eager to make my friend feel comfortable in our home - she was a little uncomfortable, I could tell. So now I had a big dilemma. If I tell my friend: “No, don’t eat that, I mean, my goodness, does that look like a fresh slice of tomato to you? That’s a slice of tomato my mother uses on her face, yack, disgusting!” Then she’d feel even more uncomfortable, not to mention embarrassed, she’d be no fun at all. But if I say: “Sure!” and let her eat the face tomato, she won’t feel embarrassed at all. And we’ll have a good time.•So, I said ok, sure. And my friend ate my mother’s face tomato. Then my mother comes in the kitchen: “Where is that slice of tomato that was over here?”I said, “I don’t know.” ‍♀️But my friend, who must have been the honest sort, said, “I ate it.” And she turned super red.And my mother, who was the insensitive type, said, laughing her head off: “You ate it? But I wiped my face with it.” #mylife #funnystory #tomatoes https://www.instagram.com/p/CAIyQeIHnEE/?igshid=1mptaalxvofk -- source link
