The other week we took the boys out to dinner at our favourite Japanese restaurant in the city. While we weren’t looking they loaded an innocuous looking mushroom with wasabi and asked Al if he wanted it (because they don’t usually eat them, so this was quite normal). After a couple of mouthfuls a strange look came over Al’s face, but we kept talking and he didn’t say anything. After awhile the boys asked if the mushroom tasted funny…and the game was up
Al had been wondering where the wasabi taste was coming from, because he knew he hadn’t added any. It took ages for the laughter to subside ![]()
