View submission: Strange habits on breaks/holidays.

My dad confirmed she starting doing this when she was pregnant nearly 40years ago. Supposedly, we shamed her as children so she only did it when we weren't there, and now on holiday.

Confession time... I did this once myself as a kid... I read the instructions on the box of Corn Flakes that said something like "lovely with orange juice in the morning". So i poured the orange juice in to the bowl with the Corn Flakes instead of milk - orrible!!!

Only afterwards did i realise that they probably meant "lovely with orange juice (on the side, in a glass you moron!)".

My soul feels better having fessed this up after many decades šŸ˜‚

Soā€¦itā€™s not a strange ā€œhabitā€ that she does only on holiday. Itā€™s a habit she partakes in when *you* are not around.

Oh so she has done it before. I canā€™t imagine it tastes very nice!
