The week of August 20th I am taking vacation. My mom wants to go visit one of my aunts who lives in Cape Cod. We were talking about dinner time at restaurants up in Cape Cod. My mom says that I should order what I am going to eat and eat what I order. I took this to mean that I should eat everything on my plate. So I said to her that you cannot control the portions given to you at a restaurant and does she expect me to eat everything on my plate.
My mom said she does not expect me to eat everything on my plate, but what she is saying is that I should not order five items if I only want four items or order the five items and only take two bites and leave the rest over. She told me that sometimes I order three vegetables and then I take two bites of one of them and say I cannot eat it because the vegetable is too soggy.
I told my mom her original comment sounded like she was telling me I should eat everything on my plate and she repeated that isn't what she was saying.
Later on when we were eating dinner in our dining room she said to me you can eat what you want you can do what you want.
My question would you think her original comment was telling me to eat everything that is served to me at a restaurant. If yes why yes and if no why no

I think what your mom is saying is to be sure to order something that you know you'll like, and be able to eat... maybe not all of it, but at least a good portion of it. She's probably worried about your aunt paying for an expensive meal, and feeling that she's wasted her money if you just take a few nibbles of it. Actually, your aunt probably wouldn't feel that way, but your mom might be worried that she would.

No, I don't think so. I think she was just trying to tell you not to waste her money, because you are visiting, and are going to be going to a lot of retaurants, and she wants to save what money she has. If you are not satisfied with what you had served to you, tell them to take it back because you don't like it.
I live in MASS, and i go to the cape a lot, and it really is expensive down there.

shes just saying order something that doesnt sound to large mayeb even order from the kids meal if you dont think you will be able to eat. And whatever you do eat you should finish it all.

I think she means try to eat as much as possible and not two bites! And I'm sorry if thats not the answer you where looking for!
