My mother recalls such other strange things, like my being given too much ketchup and having to finish it on its own, with nothing to dip in it. Being yelled at for gagging on foods I didn't like, like liver or cooked carrots.
I once told my mother that they had threatened to audio tape a fit I threw on a Snow Day, because they refused to let me go outside to play with the other children, because, despite it happening right after lunch, my mother was supposedly about to arrive to pick me up. Which, in winter, she didn't arrive until it was dark out. They wanted to use the tape to show my mother what a bad little girl I was, so that she would punish me. They did tape it, but the way the conversation was going, it would have been obvious they were just trying to screw with my mind, so they never made my mother listen to it.
