Sloppy Seconds
and the whole time that the big family meal had been going on
sister went to pass the bowl of Manwich, but brother, being the
vegetarian now (having changed so since leaving the nest to college)
shook his head slowly with food in his mouth (salted baby Yukon Golds) & sister scanned the rest of the table when her cousin (the attractive lawyer who moved to LA) threw up her hand remarking that she'd like some, sister who never liked her 'hot' cousin who never passed up a moment to rub her success in the face of everyone, replied 'oh, i didn't know that you did sloppy seconds-'
