Default So, I am stupid!

My mom wanted to try the lemon popcorn so I took her the box with the
remaining packet. She popped it and ate it while we were out. Said it was
really good. She put in half of the oil (based on my telling her that the
whole packet made it too oily) but both of the salt packets which she
thought made it too lemony. And I was like... Uh... There were SALT
PACKETS?

I thought I had looked through the box well. It did say to put as much or
as little seasoning as you wanted but I thought all of the seasoning was in
with the oil since I didn't see anything else. So...

To make matters even more stupid, my mom said there had been a little
popcorn left but she threw it away so I couldn't taste it. Then when I got
home, I called her to tell her I had been back to Central Market where the
popcorn was now on sale and I got 3 more boxes of lemon plus 2 of maple. I
might not like the maple but Angela and my mom like sweet popcorn. And
guess what my mom said? "Oh, oops! I thought I threw the popcorn away but
then I found it on the counter. So you could come back over here and try
it!" Um... No. Not gonna drive 9 miles each way for a bite of popcorn.

So, I am stupid. And I falsely accused the popcorn of not tasting lemony or
salty. I will make another bag tonight and do it right. But I will also
try to make my own. Because even on sale, this stuff isn't cheap.
