When I was a little boy,my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one evening 1 when she made breakfast after a long, 2 day at work. On that 3 so long ago,my mom placed a plate of eggs,sausage and extremely burn?ed biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if my dad 4

  5all my dad did was reach for his biscuit,6 at my mom and asked me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that evening, but I do remember watching him eat it happily!

  When I got up from the table to my room to prepare for tomorrow's 7   ,I heard my mom 8 to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said―"Baby,I  9 burned biscuits.”

  Later that night, I asked him if he 10 liked the burned biscuits. "Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she's real very 11    ," he said. " 12   ,a little burnt biscuit never 13 anyone!" Hearing that,I was very moved by the 14 of my father and the deep love between them.

  In bed that night,I thought about the 15 at dinner and the kindness my Daddy 16 to my Mom.
