Breakfast
So, I make breakfast for me and my mom. Coffee. Toasted bread. Scrambled eggs. Hey, it's 4 am in the morning but she was hungry.
So, I scrambled the eggs, ketchup, salt, and pepper on the side. Arrange the bread on the other side of the plate.
Mom gets slice of toast: "There's pepper on the bread."
"I think a bit of pepper sprinkled on it. Ok, I'll just toast a new batch."
"No this is fine."
1 minute later...
mom: "I really don't like pepper."
me: "Leave it on the plate. I'll toast new ones."
mom: "No, this is fine."
1 minute later...
mom: "Why did you put pepper on the bread?"
me: "Ma, I didn't. No one puts pepper on bread. I know that. Leave it alone. Here's some fresh bread."
mom: "No, this is fine."
1 minute later:
mom: "I really don't like pepper."
me: "....."

Does ketchup on eggs taste good?
In general, fried + ketchup is good (oil + sour is the basis of many sauces and vingairettes).
... Soooo why did you put pepper on the bread...?
I wanna know that too.
Is your mom ill?
Shove the bread in her face, but don't forget to put all the pepper on it.
Sounds like quite a few people I know.
You have way more patience than I do
I would tell her to make her own fucking toast next time.
... by any chance, is your mother suffering from dementia? I'd suspect her of that.
i LOVE pepper
I wouldn't make food for her at all.
I dont like pepper.
Wtf is up with her?
Bake a new batch and throw it on her face.
HOW UNGRATEFUL OF HER.
Next time pepper the toast deliberately
