Jef and I were home alone for dinner one night. Mom and Dad had gone
off to some party and left us to heat up TV Dinners. I was in a giddy
mood and kept goofing off at the dinner table. Jef was trying to read
while he ate, but every time he'd bring the fork to his mouth, I'd
bump his elbow and knock his food back onto his plate. I'd then
giggle uncontrolably.
I did this four or five times and Jef just ignored me. The next time,
though, he dropped his fork and jabbed his fist into my face. He
caught me on the cheek, hard. I turned to my dinner and began eating
in silence, my face stinging.
