Yeah, and so what if I ate a whole jar of asparagus? Parents should clap for having such a healthy child. My stepfather had some serious issues and I unfortunately paid the price.

I know his mother went through the [Dutch Famine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_famine_of_1944%E2%80%931945) of 1944-1945 in Frisia. He has some secondary trauma from this, I'm pretty sure. We always had fights around food. He used put like a whole mountain on his plate, leaving me to wonder if there was going to be anything left in the pot for me.

An Empty Jar of Asparagus

>  And I, the naughty child had, without hesitation, snatched this golden opportunity to swallow down a dozen elongated soggy vegetables at the cost of his next gastronomic wonder. 

I wonder if there has ever been a child who stole asparagus.

This was a fun read, even if it wasn't based on a very fun experience. Thanks for posting!
