Six-Word Memoirs with SMITH Mag

Hidden under table ledge, Russian Fluff

Backstory

My parents weren't rich and had 7 kids to feed. Mom made dishes which would go a long ways. Dad's favorite line was eat some bread to fill up the cracks. Russian Fluff was not my favorite, I would try to hide as much of it as I could. You weren't allowed to leave any food. Now I understand my parents frustration with kids and eating, very aggravating.
