Once our mother Mary Martha, did not feel like going food shopping, since she did not like to drive the car. So she decided to send father Donald alone to go food shopping with a carefully prepared list of food products. Our daddy returned from shopping with only one item, and it was not even on mother's list. He brought only a bag of dried beans. Mother asked where were all of the other items on the list ? Father replied that all we needed as a family was this bag of dried beans, and nothing more! After this episode, mother never trusted father for food shopping, so my big brother David or I got the honor of food shopping for mother with her list and permission to buy cokes and ice cream too.
