TO MAKE MY FAMILY’S SIGNATURE DISH
On December 7, 2016
by LYZ
- Take 1 family of 5 and set them in a living room sized oven.
- Now turn the heat from 0 to 100, dad starts to get upset.
- Sprinkle some curse words and here goes mother.
- Add a teaspoon of smart remarks and guilt trips.
- My sister’s attitude should rise along with my anxiety. Why can’t we just have one okay night?
- Take one cup of happy family and put it into a bag.
- Take a rolling pin and crush it to a fine powder.
- Throw in some hatred. Not again…dad just sit down. Welp, Sister is gone now.
- Take a handful of stairs. Run up them once.
- 3 cups of tears shed that night.
- 3 cups of quiet daughters.
- 2 cups of angry voices that fill the air.
- When you finish, repeat endlessly.
