I will

I will ask, 'How was your day?' before we talk about the smell of burnt food and the new Caphalon skillet that was returned to storage sticky on the sides and still sporting vestiges of batter. I should have known you too would be intrigued by the unnatural Batter Blaster in the fridge. I'm genuinely curious how both side of the asphalt colored pancake in the trash were so terribly burnt. One side I get, both sides leave me wondering what you were doing between flips. I haven't looked in the bathroom but a glance at your room suggests a 24 hour maximum of any consistent housekeeping or conforming to the norms of the people you share space with.

I love family.
