“What's that?” daughter asks.

“Pork chops,” mother says as she places the platter of meat in the center of the supper table.

Father fills each plate with chops, potatoes, and stewed tomatoes.

“Eat now,” he tells his family of five.

Baby licks the bone.

Brother takes a bite.

Daughter smells the chops. “It's venison… not pork… venison!”

Brother puts his chop down.

“I told you it wouldn't work,” father says to mother.

Mother looks at her daughter, “You ruin everything.”
