Looking back, I realize my mother could have made the dinner. But it was a lot for one person to do, especially when no one helped. And no one in my family did help — not my dad who put his feet up on the table and griped: “I’ve got to work all week; this is my only time to rest!” Not us kids who also put our feet up and exclaimed: “We go to school all week! We need to rest too!”
