Today, my mother asked me how pasta is harvested. She actually thought it grew out of the ground. FML

Today, my daughter tried to make pasta by putting a pot on the stove, pouring the noodles in without adding water, and turning on the stove. Then she asked me, "How come these aren’t getting soft like when you make them?" She’s 19. FML

Now we're cooking
Today, I made homemade pasta from scratch. I spent hours kneading the dough, rolling it out, and cutting it into perfect strips. When I went to cook it, I realized that I forgot to add salt to the dough. The pasta tasted like damp cardboard. FML

Today, I offered to help my mother-in-law boil noodles for some noodle soup. She loudly said, "You know how!?" I'm a chef. FML

Today, my 15 year-old sister asked which animal rice comes from. She believed every word when my mum told her it's harvested from tiny cows in Asia. FML

Today, my mom found out that paper is made from trees. She read it on a garbage truck. I then had to explain to her how it's made. FML

Today, I found out that my home-made pasta sauce had a weird taste to it because my basil patch in the backyard has become my dog's preferred spot to pee. FML

Yummy
Today, I was boiling pasta and tasting it every now and then too see if it was done. As an afterthought, I threw in some lentil pasta as well. Only after tasting a few more times did I notice the maggots that were now slowly rising in the boiling water. I didn't expect that much protein in those lentils. FML

Recycling at its finest
Today, I was having a vegetarian meal at my date's house. She was very proud because she grew all the veggies herself; she even made the fertiliser herself. I was halfway through the meal before I asked what she meant by "made her own fertiliser." It was human shit; her own human shit. FML

Pica?
Today, my mom ate some flowers without knowing if they were safe. Turns out they are slightly poisonous and she had an upset stomach, but she will be fine. Her excuse? "I didn't know it had poison." I had to explain that's exactly why you don't eat plants you don't know are poisonous or not. FML

Let it all hang out
Today, my mom was pulling up weeds on the terrace while wearing gardening gloves. Why is that worth mentioning? Because that's literally all she was wearing. FML

Well, the grain that pasta is made from goes in the ground.

Just thank the lord you were not raised like her
gintwinsmoore 20
Who do you think raised OP then??? I mean, there are others that could have but more than likely, who could have other than OP's mother???
CommentKing207 23
I never said she wasn't raised BY her mom, just that she wasn't raised LIKE her, to believe that pasta is actually homegrown
CommentKing207 23
I never implied that OP wasn't raised BY her mom, just to be glad she wasn't raised LIKE her mom

That's crazy! Who would think pasta grows out of the ground, did she thing you pull it out of the ground and voila?

I hope your family isn't Italian. They'd probably ostracize her.

Or call her out as a impasta.

just a glance at the ingredients list should tell a person that it doesn't grow from the ground because there's a lot more than just one ingredient.

Well, there are spaghetti trees in Italy. You didn't know that!!?

Yeah TECHNICALLY pasta is a grain. Maybe she was asking about the process (giving her super benefit of the doubt)
RealSuperSand 21
Wow. Sounds like my mom, the stupidity is strong with this one.

If only pasta grew in the wild. And instead of sap, a certain tree would have marinara or carbonara sauce that you could tap and bottle. We need science to make this happen please.
