Thankfully, the doctors said Mikey would be 

fine

His legs would be swollen for a while, and 

he’d have to stay in bed, but after a few days 

in the hospital, he could go home

Mom was suddenly happy. See? I told you he 

was fine. You didn’t need to get him checked 

out. It’s so expensive!” 

Г 

Uncle Joe glared at her, and Mom shut her 

mouth, muttering, I’m just saying” 

The doctor glanced at Mikey and me, 

frowning. These kids are too skinny. You 

need to feed them something. Give them 

more nutrients.” 

Mom’s face turned red. I do! They just take 

after me. They can’t gain weight!” 

Are you sure? They’re obviously 

malnourished. I don’t know what kind of 

parent you are,the doctor said, shaking his 

head, concerned

Parents these days” 

After the doctor left, Uncle Joe turned to my 

く 

mom, his face dark

Mom started stammering and looked at me to 

defend her

I rushed to Uncle Joe and grabbed his hand

Uncle Joe, you don’t understand. Mom gives 

us the nutritious vegetable platterevery day

Carrots, greens, cabbagesuper nutritious.” 

Uncle Joe looked confused

What about meat?” 

Meat” 

A wave of sadness washed over me

I licked my lips, laughed bitterly, and said

く 

Mom says meat is for people who need it 

more. We’re lucky to have vegetables.” 

Mom stood nearby, fidgeting. Meat is for 

holidays. Kids shouldn’t eat too much. They 

get fatty liver!” 

Yeah, kids shouldn’t eat too much meat.. as 

if we ever had the chance

When I was little, I begged for meat, crying

Mom would buy some, but then she’d give it 

away

Sweetie, we have to be kind,she’d say

Those people don’t have any food. We’re 

lucky to have vegetables.” 

But she’d always be around when other 

people were eating, conveniently close 

く 

enough to get invited in. She’d eat until she 

was stuffed, then come home and make us 

our nutritious vegetable platter.” 

It was so twisted. Giving away our money and 

food

If we weren’t in the hospital, I was sure Uncle 

Joe would have slapped her again

Oh, I’m so stupid,Uncle Joe said. People 

always tell me how charitable your mom is

always giving away meat. I thought you must 

have plenty to eat. And your mom always 

complains you don’t gain weight! I can’t 

believe it. What a disgrace to the family.He 

patted my head, his voice full of sympathy

I bit back tears. I didn’t blame Uncle Joe. He 

worked hard enough as it was, and that he 

had spent time thinking of us was more than 

enough
