I hate bitter gourd. It's the most disgusting vegetable in the world. It's bitter, slimy, and has a weird texture. I don't understand why anyone would eat it, let alone enjoy it.

But my mom loves bitter gourd. She says it's good for health and digestion. She says it cleanses the blood and purifies the skin. She says it's a delicacy that only a few people can appreciate.

She also loves to cook bitter gourd for me. She says it's her way of showing me how much she cares for me. She says it's her duty as a mother to make me eat healthy food. She says it's for my own good.

She has tried every possible way to make me like bitter gourd. She has fried it, boiled it, stuffed it, mashed it, and even made a soup out of it. She has added sugar, salt, spices, and sauces to mask its bitterness. She has mixed it with other vegetables, rice, noodles, and bread to hide its presence.

But nothing works. I can always tell when there is bitter gourd in my food. I can smell it, see it, and taste it. And I always refuse to eat it.

This makes my mom very sad. She thinks I don't appreciate her efforts and love. She thinks I'm being stubborn and ungrateful. She thinks I'm wasting food and disrespecting her.

She tries to persuade me to eat bitter gourd with various arguments. She tells me stories of how she used to eat bitter gourd as a child and how it made her strong and smart. She tells me facts about how bitter gourd is rich in vitamins and minerals and how it can prevent diseases. She tells me examples of how other people love bitter gourd and how they are happy and successful.

But nothing convinces me. I don't care about the stories, facts, or examples. I don't care about the health benefits or the social status. I only care about the taste. And I hate the taste of bitter gourd.

So we have a constant battle over bitter gourd. Every time she serves it to me, I push it away. Every time I push it away, she scolds me. Every time she scolds me, I argue with her. Every time I argue with her, she gets angry with me.

And then we stop talking to each other for a while.

But we always make up eventually. Because we love each other.

And because she always tries again.

And because I always give in.

Because even though I hate bitter gourd, I love my mom more.
