And Then I Quickly Emailed the Neighbors and Asked If I Could Keep 'Im.

My neighbor's son is here havin' supper with us, spur of the moment. Rightthisveryminute.

I had to share, though, immediately. It's that good.

They sat down to their chicken nuggets and sliced berries and milk.

Silence fell across the table as they took in the repast before them.

And then:


"Ms. Megan," Bubba asked, "You guys have any okwa?"

"Son," I replied reverently, "You have come to the right place."

    I made okra last week when my father-in-law was visiting. Although we've always had a good relationship, I think he appreciates me even more now.
