Para 9. So, when I took my new boyfriend to dinner at Mom's house for the first time, I worried about what she would be serving. I could only hope that she had prepared something he would recognize and was willing to eat. When we got to the house, I was relieved to find out we were having chicken soup. Who doesn't like chicken soup? Para 10. With the pot of hot soup already on the dining room table, we sat down to eat and Mom began serving the soup. True to her upbringing , Mom made certain her guest was served first and she poured a large ladle of soup into his bowl. Then ... oh, no! Before I knew what was happening or could stop her, she added a special treat to his bowl. A chicken foot! Though my boyfriend was completely shocked and disgusted by the chicken foot in his soup, he did not say a word about it. But he didn't eat much soup, either!
