Is this ok at eat?

So when i was like... 7-8ish... i was swimming in our jacuzzi, minding my own business, and mom called me in to eat lunch.

i came in, like the obedient child that i was, and sat down at the bar.  I dont remember what was on the plate except mac and cheese.  not any ole mac and cheese but GREEN mac and cheese.  I looked at it and looked back at mom - who was just carrying on like nothing was strange.  I finally said... "why is this macaroni and cheese green?"

to which she responded by looking at my plate and back at me like i was crazy...

"it isnt green kase - macaroni and cheese is yellow".

"i know... but this is green!" i responded... like she was the one who was crazy.

she reaches over and grabs a little with her fingers and eats it... then says

"kase, if you dont want to eat it... just eat the other stuff on the plate - u dont have to say it is green".

okay... so was i crazy?  i stared at it... blinking... nope - still green.  not even slightly yellow!

"mom, this macaroni is green!  i see green!" i whined back.

"kasey... macaroni and cheese is yellow ---- yeeee-low" she said slowly like maybe i didnt get it.

ok... now i am on the verge of tears... not becuz the mac and cheese is green but becuz i am apparently the only one who sees this strange color!  even my sister is looking at me like i am crazy.  

"but mom - i see green" i said with big alligator tears on the rim of my lids about to fall.

then the laughter starts... truly i dont know how my mom and my sister kept a straight face through this little prank they were pulling.

my mother had, apparently, decided to put green food coloring in the mac to see what i would do... she had told gretchen to play along.

so.... was i scarred for life? no!  i came from the loins of this prankster!  i decided to play my own.

next time Maw-Maw was over... her and mom were in the kitchen washing dishes.  I went to the fridge... pulled out the leftover mac and cheese... opened it were Maw-Maw could see inside and said "hey mom... is this macaroni ok to eat?"

"yeah" mom said not even thinking about it being green.

Maw-Maw quickly chimed in - "oh no baby! that is bad... it's green!"

lol! ha ha - i am not so easily beaten :)

tune in next time for "Maw-Maw said what??"
