Mama Lai knows that Duckie and I love papaya so she bought a big boxful for the holidays in anticipation of our trip home for the holidays. While Mama Lai and I were watching television she went to go wash and cut a papaya during the commercial break. I was being a spoiled brat and flattering Mama Lai that I was so lucky to have her and all the papaya I want
and a wonderful Mama Lai who would cut and serve it to me.
But Mama Lai got her revenge -- she sat down next to me and ate the papaya exaggeratedly without sharing a single
bite. I pouted and Mama Lai fairly said:
"Why not? I drove to the store in my car, bought the papaya with my money, cut the papaya in my kitchen, in my house -- of course I don't share. It's my papaya. You want to eat? There's the kitchen and the knife. Go cut your own my lazy girl."
