When I was a little girl,my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then.And I remember one__1__when my mom placed a plate of eggs,sausage and extremely__2__toast (土司面包) in front of my dad.I remember__3__to see if anyone noticed!__4__all my dad did was reach for his toast,__5___at my mom and ask me how my day was at school.

When I__6__from the table that evening,I remember hearing my mom__7__to my dad for burning the toast.And I’ll__8__forget what he said,“Baby,I love burnt toast.” Later that night,I went to__9__Dad good night and I asked him if he really__10__his toast burnt.He wrapped me up in his__11__and said,“Debbie,your mom had a__12__day at work today and she’s really tired.And besides,a little burnt toast never__13__anyone!” In bed that night,I thought about the scene at dinner and the__14__my dad showed to my mom.

To this day,it’s a cherished (珍贵的)__15__from my childhood that I’ll never forget.And it’s one that came to__16__just recently when Jack and I sat down to eat dinner.

As I__17__the plate in front of Jack,I waited for a(n)__18__about the burnt toast.But all I got was,“Thank you,dear!This is__19__.I know you had a hard day!” Just then,I thought about my parents,and was quietly thankful for having a__20__where burnt toast wasn’t a deal?breaker either!
