Surprised

Anyone who has ever shared a meal with Liz knows how difficult she can be. Usually she experiences at least one time out.

Tonight she completely surprised me. She made a face when she bit into her potsticker and ate slowly, but that was it.

Later she came up to me and said, "I'm glad you gave me that, Mom. I didn't like it, but thanks for giving it to me."

That is certainly not something I ever thought I hear from her (until maybe she became a mother and came to her senses).
