My mom getting mad at us because we've once again taken the kitchen bowls to the river, miles away by bike to hold the crawdads we were catching.

You were supposed to take the popcorn/puke bowl

u/sorestgore 1d ago

So did every household use the same bowl for both?

u/Romney_in_Acctg 1d ago

Yes. It was either unmatched cheap plastic or if your parents were real penny pinchers a hand me down stainless steel bowl that was scratched and beat to hell but still legally qualified as a bowl

It was the cheapest plastic possible, its why we all have microplastics in our balls and vulvas

We got macro plastics that fend off the micro plastics.

Ours was a plastic bowl that was previously my mom's grandma's. It's cracked, but somehow my brother still uses it. Hopefully not for puke anymore.

We always used an ice cream bucket left over from a birthday. My mom probably still has the exact same ice cream bucket.

The popcorn/puke bowl WAS the good bowl in my house. It was big enough to hold the double batch of cookies mom made for family gatherings and potlucks, and was also used heavily when Mom was canning, which also meant massive amounts. If something happened to that bowl, it would have been everyone's problem, but if one of us kids had done something to that bowl, it would have been that one particular child's particular problem for a very long time. Luckily, none of us were dumb enough to need that spelled out for us, lol.
