I just blatantly lied to Penny and I can't believe I got away with it! I made grilled salmon with olive oil, lemon and a ton of parsley. She likes salmon but took one look at the green parsley and said those words every mom fears "I don't want it." With only a few seconds of convincing time (before the item is pushed away and never eaten) I somehow spit out the words "the salmon isn't green." I just straight up denied there was any green on the fish. She looked at me for a second and took a bite and took another. She made noises I took as her enjoying it. She requested more but specifically asked for "no green parts" so I did what any mom would do and mushed it up and said again with confidence that the salmon wasn't green. She ate a second huge helping.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
