Bacon Bits Break Friendships?
Our protagonist, a loving ‘auntie’ to her best friend’s kids, accidentally serves them a vegetable soup with bacon bits, unaware of the consequences. The kids, raised vegetarian by their strict mom, absolutely love the soup. When mom asks for the recipe and discovers the bacon, she flips out and bans ‘auntie’ from seeing her kids again. After some time, the two friends sit down for a coffee and discuss the situation. Turns out, the kids have been eating meat behind mom’s back! The friends try to mend their relationship, and mom eventually allows her kids to eat meat outside the house, but with some restrictions. In the end, everyone comes together to make an apple pie as a thank you and apology. ❤️ Let’s see what the internet thinks of this juicy tale…
