My mum said I used to be a naughty kid in my childhood. I used to fight with other boys, take other children's toys without permission and cry loudly every time I couldn't get what I wanted. I didn't use to eat most of the food my mother cooked. I didn't use to like any dairy products, most vegetables or soups. The only dish I used to like was mashed potatoes with sausages. It was a long time ago, and now I know that it wasn't really healthy. Today I eat all the vegetables and dairy products, and my mum's soups taste delicious!

Actually, at this moment I finally understand why I hate eating them now. When I grew up, I also started to eat vegetables and dairy products. And I adore my mum's soups now!
