Turkey Again?" she asked.
The question hit me like a
slap. I felt my face start to burn.
"No, I'm
roasting a beef roast for dinner." I stammered. "Honest."
Jessica smiled and shook her
head in disbelief.
The turkey smell may be due to
the fact I haven't had the time to clean my oven after last year's huge
Thanksgiving feast. "Turkey for dinner?" His thin lips turned into a frown.
The
frown quickly disappeared when we told him we were baking a birthday
cake.
"I made bran muffins with raisins,"
he announced.
My mother ate my father’s bran muffins with the raisins.
Depressed, I pouted, and shuffled my way back to my room and back to
bed. I woke up later and made myself scrambled eggs for lunch and didn't
talk to my father for the rest of the day.
It’s become so bad that I come home late from work hoping to
smell turkey when I open the door. That’s when I know that my roommate
had taken upon herself to cook dinner for us.
The solution to this problem is clear, of course. Break down and clean my oven. But not today, it’s warm the sun is calling my name and I have a date. |
