Miscommunication

Matthew

I thought about what Presley said at Christmas. I came downstairs after showering to see Dad cooking. I walked over to the baking sheet and snatched a pepperoni from the uncooked pizza.

Dad gave me a look. /"Do you mind?/" He asked.

/"Nope,/" I said, smiling, then walking to the fridge. I opened the door and grabbed a bottled water from it, then closed it. Ma came into the house from the back door, carrying bags.

Dad looked at Ma. /"Did you buy the entire store?/" He asked.

/"No, but I kept finding things that look good,/" Ma answered, grinning.

/"Lyric, I can’t let you loose in a store, or you buy things we don’t need,/" Dad said.

/"Hey, we need Oreos,/" Ma informed Dad, pulling a pack of Oreos. I chuckled.

/"Says you,/" Dad said, putting the pizza into the oven.

/"Oreos are the bomb, and so are Pinwheels. Not sure what this cookie is,/" Ma said, looking at the package.
