eggs
someone told me today that as a child he had an allergy to eggs. his mother was so afraid he wasn't getting enough nutrition, so when a relative told her that she should give them to him raw, she decided to try it. she mixed up a raw egg with a little milk and sugar and he gulped the concoction down with signs of obvious delight. he then proceeded to ask for this every morning.
when he told his wife about this, she didn't believe him, so he demonstrated. "i'm not going to kiss you for about a month," she told him. "let's just shake hands."
"i don't think i'm going to tell paul's pediatrician about this," i said.
