Let’s talk about the diet of champions in the Bucket household: watery cabbage soup. Every single day. That’s not a meal; that’s a form of medieval punishment. Mrs. Bucket doesn’t just eat it—she serves it with a smile, pretending it’s a gourmet feast while her stomach is probably doing a sad little flip.
And while Grandpa George complains about not having bacon, and Grandma Josephine whines about the cold, Mrs. Bucket just says, “More soup, anyone?” She’s the only person on Earth who could make boiled water and a sad leaf sound like a family tradition. That level of self-control should be illegal.
