I skewed my nose, "It would be so tangy without it. How about some vanilla ice-cream on the side, instead?"
"No!" Natalie was loud and clear.
I could still not digest the fact, and snickered at her, "I hope you're aware that it's a dessert, not an entree."
"Mom, why can't we consider a dessert to be sweet and savory, just like how Life offers us. Happy and not so happy moments in our lives." my 18-year-old inquired in a severe tone, leaving me speechless.
