My mom always cooks fried rice for breakfast. I am tired of eating it. So is my brother.
I say to my brother: I want to go out before mom gets up and cooks the fried rice for breakfast.
But I say to my friend: I want to go out before my mom gets up and cooks fried rice for breakfast.
The second sentence doesn't have the article 'the' because my friend doesn't know what kind of fried rice it is. But my brother knows, so I put the article 'the'.
Am I correct?

This question is boring, and anyone that eats fried rice for breakfast all the time needs a change, so how about yogurt, toast, fruit and tea.

It would be more correct to send your mother over to my house to cook fried rice for our family for breakfast. If she always cooks it, she has probably had a lot of practice and probably has some themes and variations that we would really like. There are fifteen of us: My wife and me, my brother, my son and my daughter-in-law and ten foster children. Please post her name and address so we can invite her over. Thank you.
PS. Does she cook other things for lunch and dinner? We may have a full time deal for your mom.

Oh , humans like variety we are always striving for it, so why would your mom make you eat rice, even if you eat the best food money can buy you will get bored after a few days of eating the same , try oatmeal one day, bran flakes the other (probably your mos is concerned about you getting the fiber you need).

I think it would be rather good if u speak to ur mother rather than bragging yourself to ur freinds. Why don't u tell ur mom that u and ur brother really hate to eat rice in the breakfast. I think it would work. God bless u . Amen
