I was about 11 and my family went to have dinner with my parents' friends. The other family had a boy about 5. We were served 'Au Gratin' Potatoes. Sounded good to me, but the little boy did not want to eat them. His Mama said, "They are good! Try them." The Little Boy then said, "Mama,please don't make me eat, OLD ROTTEN POTATOES!!!!"
I didn't want him to eat them either.
