Six-Word Memoirs with SMITH Mag

Isn't vegetarian lasgna; artichokes have hearts

Backstory

My 15 year old daughter was vegetarin. I was having surgery so bought a lasgna from a local market. She was angry and said she couldn't eat it as it had meat in it. I insisted it didn't and she replied "You can't fool me anymore, I know you love artichoke hearts!" I laughed so hard and went out and bought an artichoke for her. We will laugh about it and even had one on her table at her wedding.
