The Best Daughter

By Chris
I told you before, that Teresa likes to be the best at whatever she's doing. Many times, this is accomplished through "sucking up." She loovvveess to cook something good, and take it to her daddy next door. You can tell when she is plotting this move, because she controls everyone's portions at home to ensure a hefty plate is left over. "No seconds for you. Back off Chris!" She only does it when she's cooked something real good (which actually happens a lot. She's become a very good cook). Like tonight. Tuna steaks with peanut sauce and squash caserole, made in a new way tonight. It was good. So, right after dinner she prepared a pretty plate to take next door. She always makes sure the presentation is pretty on the plates that leave the house. She'll call her mom later to ask how it went over. She especially likes to do it when her sister is next door (which is pretty much . . . how should I put it . . . well . . . always). Sort of saying "and what did you bring to daddy and momma today?" And, if she can do it while her sister is off with her mother, even better. Then she can send the message: "Did they leave you alone. Well here's something for you." She got to deliver the goods tonight while the other girls were out shopping. Cha - Ching. Double score.
