Grandma started her nutritional temper tantrum by complaining that she isn't getting enough nutrition and that she needs to eat more vegetables. So, Anna and I always make sure there are fruits and vegetables and salads ready to eat.
Once she realized we expect her to eat these vegetables, she started saying she is having trouble swallowing. But her problem is pretty selective. I brought home some Marie Callender's pie and dinner for her. She trotted right over to the pie and ate the whole slice, along with the cornbread with honey butter. The she said she couldn't swallow anymore.
I'm not stupid, Grandma. You have no problem eating sugar and cream based dishes, but vegetables cause you problems. I get it. But you don't need to tell me you can't swallow something and go through this whole ridiculous act of coughing and moaning about how you can't eat. You had no trouble with that sweet and sour pork the other night, but the soup gave you trouble. You aren't fooling anyone.
