On the day of my baby boy’s birthday (last Sunday) we were eating pizzas. At one point my mother was telling me not to eat pepperoncinis that come with papa john’s pizzas because she thought it would give me gas. I ignored and ate two anyways since I never got problem from eating them before. She got angry and slapped my back.
