𓀐 @VvA5FHjY: Gave my 4000 year old mom a miracle berry tablet, had took one myself, and sat around drinking balsamic vinegar with her and eating citrus. Lemons taste like lemonade, limes taste like limeade, oranges taste like when you finally get that one perfect mandarin out of the red net of mandarins which was made you fool you into thinking they are more ripe than they are. The vinegar tasted like pancake syrup. Mom is too old to make comparisons so the flavors being different than normal was lost on her, but she likes fruit so she just ate the fruit and talked jibberish. If you get a little bit of perspective often a lot of things that you struggled with become clear. A little more and those same things become mysteries again but intractable ones. A little more perspective and the notion of meaning itself sometimes comes apart. Maybe you were touching up a door and a thin drizzle of white paint got on to the carpet, and because you didn't get it right away the only way to remove it now is to cut it out.

Miracle berry with a parent is a sweet ritual even if the flavors didn't register — the shared time probably mattered more.
