I remember the ice cream promise. To me that was the most frightening part.
I have always hated ice cream and I knew that it would be pushed on me
afterwards. And it was in the form of milkshakes which to me are far worse
than plain ice cream. My mom claims that the only thing I would eat was
poached eggs but I find that really hard to believe. I have never been an
egg lover and I really hated poached ones. She would often confuse what my
brother and I liked. I know he loved poached eggs.
