“At lunch, I opened a metal can of soup and poured it into a pot to heat. My brother asked if I can make grilled cheese to go with it, and I said yes. While we ate, he teased me, saying I really can cook now. Later that afternoon, my dad came home laughing about a coworker who had been canned for always showing up late. In the evening, I went to choir practice, and our director shouted for us to can the silly chatter so we could focus on the music. By bedtime, I thought about how the day had moved from cooking in the kitchen to working at the office and finally to singing with friends.”
