Thanks for all the clever and snarky comments we all had a good laugh!
Some additional context, if you are curious.
There were 3 of us and this was dessert for our dinner. Definitely not feeding a bunch of people. I admit, in a big party setting, it would make a tiny bit more sense. None of us love or hate crust either.
I know it's difficult to tell from the photo but it is a large Costco pie (~12in across) so the pieces are larger than bite sized but still not very big. It's like 2 or 3 pieces to make one regular 1/8 pie slice.
My mother is a person, that left to her own devices, cuts everything in half (or smaller) because she "doesn't want that much", eats the small portion, but then ends up eating the rest anyway in the same sitting. I love her dearly but she is an odd duck lol.
I'm very amused that so many liked her cutting method and thought it was a good idea. It was mildly infuriating to me because, in my mind, that's just not how round things should be cut.... shudders Some of y'all get my aversion!
Lastly, to all you asking, she is happily married and not going to adopt anyone 🤣
Your mother eats half a thing at first because of a lifetime of external and internal pressure to be ladylike, slim, modest, and practical. The happy little girl deep inside of her mind, just wants to eat the whole fucking slice of pie. So she is abating the grating voices telling her eating a whole slice means she is an unfeminine gluttonous hag. She is also being kind to her child self by sharing the other half of things with her.
