38. The
Calm Before the Storm
While Mikey
was making his film debut, Sheila and Tiffany moved their party from the living
room into the kitchen. “Want some cookie
dough?” Sheila asked Tiffany as she pulled the tub from the refrigerator.
Tiffany’s eyes
widened. “I thought you said raw dough was bad for us, and we weren’t allowed
to eat it.”
“It’s bad
for your chubby father. Your brother
would eat the whole tub if I let him.
You and I can bake a few cookies and eat a little dough. Want to put it on ice cream?”
While they
ate their ice cream and cookie dough, mother and daughter talked about soccer,
school, science, Repugnant, and Repulsive’s latest catch, which he had left half
alive on Tiffany’s pillow. They had no idea of the storm about to blow through
their lives.
Today
I will cherish quiet moments with loved ones.
