Thirty years ago, my father tried to force-feed me a beet.

We were sitting at the dining room table he purchased that morning in an auction at the Delaware County Library. After he struggled to get it through the front door, Mom had him place it just so and then spread an old blanket underneath. Armed with kitchen knives, Dad and I lay on our backs to scrape all the petrified Beechnut and Juicy Fruit off the bottom.
