A conversation between my parents

Mum: It’s so long I ever cooked the Braised Pork With Turnips. It’s my family traditional dish.

Dad: I have never eaten it before.

Mum: You have a poor memory. I have cooked it when we were still living in the old house. You complaint the turnip is very hard and old. That’s why I have never cooked it again.

Dad: Where got! I can’t remember it.

Mum: I remember it very well. Don’t argue with me.

This was the conversation I overheard from my mum and dad. It’s kind of funny when they were arguing and reminiscing the past. My mum had bore the grudge for so long, until she saw a culinary variety show about a similar dish. My father’s mindless remark had caused the dish to disappear from our dining table. Hope this conversation may spur my mum to try the dish again.
