At around 2:00pm, Maw had wanted to drop by the house of Fe to give her something in return for Fe’s thoughtfulness during Thanksgiving and Christmas. In return, Maw had given a small plastic bag of Cuties oranges and two of Paw’s Fuji apples. Fe, of course, had lots more to give in return – LOTS of lemon, green peppers, LOTS of carrots and other fruits and vegetables. We didn’t stay long because her husband was sleeping in the living room. Thank goodness! Because I would have gagged in the aroma of the house – a typical smell of cooking lingering in the air. God!
Anyway, Paw was left home to finish up his lunch. Maw doesn’t trust his driving and she started to lecture me about being more understanding of the old man and her. Of course, I was being fed up and annoyingly bratty and retorted unkindly but in jest of course. When we got home, Paw was STILL washing the dishes. Maw was correct: He is too slow and thoughtless to speed up or give someone nice like Fe something to remember during the holidays.
