I sat at the kitchen table tapping my middle and pointer finger onto the dark oak. A ray of sunset slips through a slit in the curtain glistening on the dining table. A small bowl slides in front of me, the steam floats up and into my face. The simple yet delightful smell of freshly cooked rice makes my mouth water. I anxiously grab a pair of chopsticks but before I could taste my first mouthful another plate of grilled fish appears before me. Without a second thought  ignore the fish and start digging in. “Eat the fish, it makes you smarter.” mum said grabbing a small piece and putting it into my bowl. “Why should I eat it?” I asked. “Because I said so.” snapped my mother.
