Bab 17: Chapter 17 Dinner
"What took you so long?" Marconi's mom asks.
"Traffic", Marconi's dad respond.
"Well, its dinner time so lets eat". The dinner table is nicely set up as always and the food looks a bit charred and brown. Overall, it's better than usual because it looks edible. I made a quinoa salad, green beans, and tofu with spinach soup.
They all serve themselves and Marconi starts to take a bite of that salad. The vinaigrette is slimy and has a horrid sour sweet combination. Marconi takes small bites so he doesn't show it on his face. His strategy is to look like he's eating at a social gathering and eats slowly.
It's suppose to look proper and dignified, but Marconi just can't quite get the attitude down as he tried to stomach the super food salad. Marconi's dad starts off with the green beans. It's american style green beans crunchy and hard to stomach. They prefer the soft green beans, because only the fried crunchy green beans are actually good.
Marconi's dad takes the eat as much as you can because it's so good acting approach. He's developed a small iron stomach because of Marconi's mom's cooking. Marconi's mom just eats it, she seems to lack taste buds because she eats everything except expired foods.
Snake, dog, Duran, she's tried them all her face doesn't even change. When they get to the soup it's salty and the taste of MSG is apparent. Only Marconi's mom can even drink it. Marconi and Marconi's dad just provide the excuse their full.
Luckily they ate that nice noodle meal before dinner otherwise they'll have grumpy stomachs all night.
"So Marconi", his mom starts to ask "How was your day? And what did you do at school today?".
Marconi responds "My day was fine. I met a few people and teachers. Dad was really helpful approaching the Janitor and the headmaster. I made my day really easy. Overall, it was just an average first day and they gave out syllabuses."
"Cool, don't forget the Opportunity Academy of Everything is very expensive so be sure to work hard. If you don't mind leave me a copy of the syllabus. I'll know the teacher's personality and I can give you some pointers for how to maximize your grade. I was a college recruiter once.", Marconi's mom says.
"I got it mom, don't worry", Marconi defensively says. "How was your day", he reflects the conversation.
"Nothing much, but we're about to start development so I'll be having late night shifts. So you and dad can either go out or have dad cook."
"Cool" Marconi tries to put on a straight face, he's inwardly excited because he doesn't have to eat his mom's food, however a slight smile escapes. Marconi's mom doesn't seem to notice.
After they finish they start to put plates away. Marconi's dad washes the dishes and puts them into the dishwasher. Marconi's mom gets on a computer to do work. Software and programming can be done anywhere so she can do her work at home.
Marconi heads to his room. He takes a shower, puts on his nice silk pajamas reserved for when he takes a shower and then decides to go back downstairs and get a cup of hot tea. Then after a short interaction with his mom he heads to his room and watches anime and a few tv series. His favorite genre is about time travel and second chances especially, The Doorway of the Stone of Destiny and The Superstars of Tomorrow. After watching a few episodes Marconi brushes his teeth and goes of into dreamland.
