Mom, lobster. Me, hamburger. Wanna trade?

Backstory

When I was little my favorite restaurant meal was a ground beef pattie with peas, and fudge cake for desert, at Howard Johnsons. One time my mother ordered lobster neuberg and offered me a taste. I liked it alot and asked if she would switch. Dispite my being a beloved only child, she was not willing to exchange meals.
