Visiting my parents for two weeks. When mom makes fish, it's always with bones. She's not particularly bothered by them. Meanwhile, I won't touch fish unless it's been fileted. In an emergency (like today) I resort to picking every piece of fish apart on the plate before I eat it, in case there's a bone in it. It kind of takes the enjoyment out of eating. She also likes to boil potatoes with the skin still on, which means burning your thumb as you peel them.
