To Do

• dinner with parents

They took me out to Indian, even though I told them I'd eaten it for more than half my week. Mom asked me what I had, and I recited the list. She asked where I'd bought it from, and I told her I made it myself. I spent half an hour telling her ways of making pakoras, and Dad even reminded her of the tandoori chicken I once made in front of her.

Is it too much to hope for, that next time we talk, she might remember I cook?

I mean, maybe someday?
