Gibralter- Wasabi

Regina was never picky with what she ate and was willing to try almost anything once.  One day my sister and I had gone out for sushi and we brought home leftovers.  Mom and Dad had just gotten home from a Home Depot run and she was famished.  There was nothing else left in the fridge except the sushi, so we told her to feel free to have the rest.  It was the first time she had ever tried sushi and we thought it would be fun to see how she liked it.  After all those rolls were relatively harmless...just a California Roll and a Shrimp Tempura Roll.       

Mom thought the rolls were strange, but she was starving and ate on.  As we all sat chatting around in the kitchen we saw mom eyeball the green wasabi in the styrofoam container.  Before we could get the "don't eat that!!" words out of our mouths, she had already popped the gumball size dollop of what she thought was guacamole in her mouth.  Next thing we knew we had a 10 minute tear-inducing, coughing-fit on our hands.  Mom didn't know what hit her.  All the 3 of us just looked at each other and burst out laughing.  Of course that was after we grabbed her a water pitcher.   

Oh, I'd give a million bucks to go back to that day.
