Okay.
So . . . my parents have these friends they visit and every so often they'll have dinner at their house. Mom always takes something, but no one will eat any of it and she gets her feelings hurt.
The other day she took over about a dozen of those cupcakes I made, even after I reminded her that they won't eat anything she brings and there's no point in wasting the effort and getting her feelings hurt again.
But who listens to me . . .
Now, the reason they won't eat anything is because we *gasp* have dogs. In. The. House.
I'm never sick and, as far as colds, flu, etc., my parents are rarely ill.
These people are sick with colds, flu, sore throats, bronchitis, pneumonia, you name it, ALL THE FREAKING TIME, and yet, Gloria doesn't have any problem at all with cooking while she (and everyone in the house) is sick and contagious and sharing it with others.
But you'll die if you eat food from a house where there are dogs in the house.
