Just half, please

When does a habit become pathological? And when should I start worrying?

Plagioclase’s mother, when offered something to eat or drink, will, with few exceptions, ask for “half that, please.” I could pour her two ounces of ginger ale and she would leave some of it in the glass.

I understand that she’s older and her appetite isn’t what it used to be, let alone the effects of her meds, but geez.

The exceptions? Ice cream and chocolate. Those she always has an appetite for.
