Maybe she has hidden attributes other than just being bitchy. My
youngest child decided at age eight that he was going to be a picky
eater. "I don't like that, I can't eat that, That's nasty." Just some of
his comments. After being told he could eat what was on the table or go
hungry he changed his mind. He's 45 yo now and will eat about anything,
including snake, rabbit, whatever. You just gotta get them young, at age
63 the woman obviously is set in a rut she will never climb out of.
