going to te l l you in detai ls how we lay the table. I t is too
boring.

Then, my father and mother come into the kitchen. Whi le
my mother and Debra prepare breakfast, my father s its at
the table and starts eat ing a biscuit or a piece of bread and
begins reading the newspaper.

I dont mind that my father reads the paper dur ingbreakfast, and sometimes at d inner, but there is one th ing
that I dont understand. When I begin reading comics at
breakfast, my father, without ra is ing his eyes from his
newspaper, says to me, Abel, how many t imes must I te l l
you that i t is not correct to read while eat ing? Put those
comics away, immediately !
no me importa

When he says that, I look at my mother. She is smil ing
and shaking her head. meneando
Well, th is essay is going to be very long anduninterest ing. So, I am going to stop here.
