My mother is a terrible cook and often tells a story about one of the first times I ever went to a Chinese restaurant (I was probably about 5 years old). When the meal came I jumped up on my seat and screamed "What's THAT??!!" My family asked what on Earth I was talking about and I said "Those orange things! What are THEY??!!" My mother replied "Why, they're carrots, dear." My response: "NO THEY'RE NOT! Carrots are BROWN!" A true testament to my mother's cooking.
