An hour break for lunch:
includes waleking home
and back to school, in
the fourth grade.
Home, I eat grilled cheese.
The crust are cut off.
Drink my tall glass of milk.
Pudding for dessert.
Auntie, my great aunt
speaks in broken English.
She asks " 9 x 9 = ?"
81, I jump up!
"7 x 6 = ? ", I challenge her.
"42" she smiles and shoots back
"7 x 8 = ?", ______at first I
almost blurted out "58."
I corrected myself,
"56!" exclaimed in victory.
Auntie pats my head
and kisses goodbye.
