Since your H is one of those kitty kitten MLCers, I think it is safe to throw H some of those well-placed "truth darts" and stand up for yourself more often. I'd hate to be called a "child"!
And for the record, I've eaten cottage cheese with assorted fruits for almost all of my life. My latest obsession is topped with pineapple chunks. I guess it is as American as it gets!!
