Pig's Feet.

The 24 YR old eats the grossest, most vile, most disgusting, revolting things ever; he has eaten buffalo, alligator, ostrich, kangaroo, etc. you name it. Yesterday he had something totally repellant thing ever brewing on a pot on the top of the stove, some sort of stew it looked like, with what appeared to be peas and tree branches in some sort of stock and it smelled absolutely stomach-churning. I felt like I was going to throw up. I had no idea what it was, didn't want to know and was almost afraid to ask but nothing would really surprise me anymore but I have to say that I wasn't expecting this.

Pig's feet.

He was cooking pig's feet. Oh, God, I can't possibly think of anything grosser, filthier, dirtier, and more disgusting than pig's feet( not even chicken feet) except for fly's feet( but who eats fly feet?) because they walk on garbage and shit all the time. The 16 YR old almost tasted some of his "soup" too until I warned her what it was made of, Ewwww! Noooo! Don't eat that! Don't you know what it's made of? Pig's feet!!  and she grossed-out and said it smelled gross anyway and she wasn't going to have any. It must be the inner Muslim and Jew in me; unclean swine flesh.On an interesting sidenote though with my IBS I can't eat pork though as my colon won't tolerate it. I swear he'll eat anything although he said he still wouldn't eat dog or human meat.

I was laying out in the backyard in the sun and relaxing and almost drifted off to sleep as well when I was suddenly startled awake by, guess what, the 24 YR old shows up shoving a big steaming plate of pig's feet into my face, the stench overwhelming and he loudly yells, Pig's feet! and I jump awake, completely grossed-out, losing my peaceful place(and my appetite for the rest of the day) yelling at him it's so gross and he's so mean but at the same time also realizing it comes from a place of love that he's "messing" with me like that and so I laugh and smile that he cares enough to come all the way outside just to rattle my cage.

I also got more fresh cut sunflowers and now the neighbours next-door also are growing some so I must have started a neighbourhood trend and my friend in the Netherlands is now on a trip to Thailand and is posting photos of all these cool exotic places like temples and elephant sanctuaries and my other cousins on the world cruise also were in Alaska and Greenland recently and said it's so cold there, like 10 C and the girls said the 20 YR old is so self-absorbed and  self-serving now she doesn't have time to visit her siblings anymore or she'll cancel plans and she'll only do something if there's something in it for her, like maybe she thinks she's All That now because she has a rich boyfriend and drives his Porsche or has come into her beauty now she's an adult and realizes how pretty she is and is using it in the wrong way realizing how much power it really has and affords her which is really sad because she used to be sweet and kind. She's lucky to be attractive and to be so fortunate but what's important to me is that my kids are good kind people and that they have a strong moral compas and faith and trust in God.
