Have you ever opened your mouth and talked yourself right out of something good? That’s exactly what happened to me! Rita magically put a table full of fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, greens, cornbread and sweet potatoes in front of me—and then I had to remind her that I was trying to become a vegetarian.
Before I could change my mind, the soul food disappeared and was replaced by a mountain of raw vegetables and fruit. I wanted to eat healthier, but I didn’t mean I wanted the entire produce department sitting on my plate!
Pede just sat there looking at me as if to say, “You talked yourself right out of the fried chicken!” Sometimes it’s better to chew your food before you chew yourself out of a good meal.
You know, it just goes to show you—be careful what you say around a wife who can work magic in the kitchen!
