There were some green beans, a salad, and a potato.
Those were the veggies.
It was delicious. My mom loves veggies.
When I was young, every meal had veggies.
I hated veggies. I didn't want to eat veggies.
No! No, I wanted cookies and ice cream and cake.
My mom would give me maximum two cookies after dinner if I ate all my veggies.
Now, it's no problem.
Then, it was a big problem.
