Kay’s dad checks Kay’s plate.
“Kay,” he says, “have some of your
coleslaw! Food is not free!”
Kay smiles. “Food is not free” is
something her dad says a lot. He is a
man who likes to save as much cash as
he can. He hates paying for food that
ends up in the trash.
Kay cuts her pork chop and lifts a
bite of it into the air.
