For awhile, I was allowed to eat dinner in front of the TV, but one time my mother served me some brown stuff on a plate & I thought it was poo. I couldn't bring myself to eat it.
My parents said that I got so interested in the TV that I forgot to eat, & wouldn't let me do that anymore. When I grew up, I told my mum about it, & she didn't believe me, because of course I knew she wouldn't serve me poo. Well, I didn't know that at all.
