I wanted to make today’s breakfast special, even though there are no occasions or birthdays in our family. I bought spaghetti + ingredients and sauce last night, and I cooked it before they woke up. When my parents and my brother woke up, they were excited for it, especially Mama. She was happy that she’s not going to cook for breakfast today. However, being the clumsy person that I am, I accidentally bumped the plate where the cooked spaghetti was off the table. I think more than half of the spaghetti spilled onto the floor. I think everybody was devastated because we were looking forward to eating a ‘special’ breakfast together, but I ruined it. We have to share what’s left and get a small serving each. Another option is to choose one or two persons who would not eat spaghetti. Mama went to the kitchen to prepare sinangag, fried eggs, and hotdogs. Papa and Mama ended up eating the usual breakfast because they gave the remaining spaghetti to me and my brother.
Thank you Mama. It might be a small gesture for you but your thoughtfulness made me smile today :)
