The next day, I was completely shocked when I got home from school. My friend’s mom, Mrs. Cooper, was at our house! She had never met my mother before, and I could see my mom’s cheeks turn red with embarrassment.
Then Mrs. Cooper looked at me and said, “Mrs. Cooper knew you liked roasts, so she brought us one on Sunday.” I walked into the kitchen and saw that our refrigerator was completely full of fresh, delicious food. My mom was timid and ashamed, but she couldn’t hide her joy.
