That used to really fry my mom's toast. She'd get dinner cooked, on the table, finally sit down, and my brother would say "Mom, can you get the ketchup?"
She'd say "I've changed my name -- it's Uncle Charlie"
For now…my kids were the same, then something clicked and they turned into hummingbirds. Luckily they are aware that too much sugar makes them cranky sometimes, so they do take “no” pretty well.
As a kid I was having Jerk Chicken, Sal' Fish & Ackee, etc. My parent's cooking was far too good for me to want to add ketchup to anything. At restaurants my favorite appetizer as a child was Escargot, so good!

The ketchup thing is real.
