Fish And Milk
Before having a catfish dinner, I asked my mother if I could
have some milk to go with it. But my father interrupted and said
that if you've never had milk with fish before then it will kill
you.

wrong because they had served milk along with our lunches which
sometimes include fish as a main course.
