Son’s reply to mom on cooking ‘Lauki’ is too relatable to miss

A Twitter user shared the excuse he made when his mom made bottle guard for a meal. The relatable tweet has received a flurry of views and comments.

If you’re one of those people who find lauki (bottle gourd) to be extremely dull and unappetizing, you’re not alone. A majority of people find lauki extremely boring because of its bland taste and squishy texture. This is why many of us have made excuses or continue devising reasons to avoid having lunch or dinner at home when any kind of bottle of gourd is on the menu. From claiming stomach aches to feigning a lack of appetite or having already eaten outside, we’ve all come up with creative excuses to skip any dish involving bottle gourd. This is exactly the case with this Twitter user whose mom cooked lauki in a one-course meal.
