One time when Husband and Middle Son (then age 12) were getting items on the shopping list, Son saw beets and immediately put 2 jars of my favorite kind into the cart.
Husband said No, too expensive, and exchanged the jars for the house brand IN A CAN!
Apparently, there was a bit of resistance from Son, who knows Mom’s preference.

There came a compromise, one jar, one can.

At home, when I was unbagging and getting ready for supper, I asked Son about the can of beets.
He responded “Talk to your husband”.

We always get pickled beets in a jar now.

(this is NOT a hint that I want your beets, it is just a memory jumped into my brain)
