At the end of our meal last night, my mom picked up the slice of lemon sitting on the plate for the fish, picked the seed out of it and popped the entire thing, peel and all, into her mouth and started chewing! I was surprised to say the least, but felt something akin to filial pride fill me as I thought, "That's a lesson! 'When life gives you lemons, eat the whole damn thing!'" Feeling happy with this I sat back and mused to her that I couldn't imagine why anyone would want to eat the peel...when she unceremoniously spit the entire thing out, still intact, and declared, "That lemon was too hard."
I guess even Superman has his kryptonite.
