Now we used to get popped in the mouth for saying such "bad" words as
"but" (You were supposed to say "my bottom" not "my but")
"lie" (The correct word was "story". It was not "Ma, he telling a lie on me." We were supposed to say "He telling a story on me".
We couldn't even begin to think about what foods we didn't like. You had to eat it anyway. I hated liver, sauerkraut, salty fish and watermelon. We had to chew it, swallow it cause there wasn't nothing else to eat. I could get away with not eating the watermelon because that was a treat.
