I Remember

Sometimes on a pretty Sunday I would put on my best Sunday dress and walk to my friend’s house and catch a ride to church. She would always invite me to go back home with her to eat dinner. One particular Sunday my friend’s mother also invited one of her friends for dinner.

After we got to the house we helped set the table. There were several kinds of vegetables, a meat dish and a big bowl of potato salad. Boy, how I loved potato salad.

After we were all seated at the table the blessing was asked and the food passed around. The potato salad was sitting next to the visiting lady. She spooned herself out a generous helping. There was some left on the spoon , so she put the spoon in her mouth and licked it clean. She then deposited the spoon back into the bowl and passed it to me. As well as I loved potato salad I had to pass it up. It sure did hurt to say, “no thanks, I don’t care for any.” My friend’s dad looked across the table at me and winked. Everyone at the table passed up the potato salad.
