There was a knock on the door. Surprised she opened the door to see who it was. No one had ever come to the house before. She spent all of her days alone with the baby who couldn't yet talk.
She opened the door to see her husband's father. He said that her husband was going to take him to get his haircut when he got off of work. Her father-in-law didn't have a car. Someone must have dropped him off there.
She let him inside and they both sat down at the kitchen table.
"Woman! I'm hungry. Make me something to eat." He said.
"We don't have any food," she answered.
"Woman! I said, make me something to eat."
Again she responded that they didn't have any food.
"WOMAN!!! If I get up and open those cabinets I better not find any food in there!" He said angrily.
"Ok", she said.
He stared hard at her and pushed back from the table and slowly got up.
She watched him walk over to the first cabinet and open it up. Empty.
He walked to the next one and opened it up. Empty.
[She was somewhat nervous as she watched him. She knew nothing was there but what exactly would he do if there was???? She was afraid to think about it. ]
And the next. And the next. He's throwing them open now. Empty. All of them. Completely empty.
He walks over to the refrigerator and opens the door. Empty.
As if on cue, her husband arrives home. His father tears into him.
His father has the teen and the baby get in the car with them and they go to a little burger restaurant. He tells her to order what she wants. She ordered a cheeseburger, fries and Coke.
She grinned and tore into the food. She drank the drink and it tasted so good!!! It all was so very good!!
But, she couldn't finish it. She could only eat half and she was so full she couldn't eat another bite.
The father-in-law was FURIOUS!!! But, the girl didn't let it bother her. She was too excited about being in a restaurant and eating food.
