daddy said he was half- french

so when he melts the butter on our bread for breakfast

he'd kiss the tips of his fingers and say, Bellissimo!

and Mum would say that's Italian but he'd just wipe

melted butter on her lips

and kiss it away "properly"

and I'd squirm

not only because the "French toast"

was black but

because daddy put my school drawing

on the fridge

where the teacher

asked me to draw the things

that makes me smile the most

(even though I lost my two front teeth

but mummy said the fairy tooth mother had them.

I don't know what that means

because she was already my mother)

so I colored us in a big red heart

around a table

with a big bowl of mac 'n' cheese and

a jug of apple juice.
