Two Families, One Table
Aunt Oy's noodle stall at the head of the pier, Jack's parents at the table and Jack between the two families: sit down, no need to hold back; Mom asks whether this is the famous stall; even though it's small, people cross the river; even though we can't make out a word, we laugh together; Dad wants to see the boats; even though it rains, the boat has a roof; can your mom eat spicy; a little, she says she's brave: even though, with the little word that answers it.
