That night, I picked Yvonne up after class and brought her back to my place. I cooked dinner for her myself.

She was still at that age where she was growing fast, and honestly, eating out all the time just wasn’t good for her. Whenever I have the time, I should really cook for her at home,‘ I thought.

Yvonne came running into the kitchen and said, “Mom, I can eat spicy food now.”

“Oh, really? When did you learn to handle that?” I asked, a bit surprised. ‘Back in my previous life, Yvonne was so picky about food–she couldn’t even handle a hint of spice. I always had to make her two separate dishes at every meal,‘ I thought.

“Just recently. I found out spicy food actually helps me eat more,” Yvonne said, totally earnest.

I chuckled. “Grandma always said I was eating spicy food before I could even walk. Where we’re from, spicy’s just how we do it.”

“Mom, you got off work so early today. Aren’t you busy anymore?” Yvonne asked.

While I was tossing the veggies in the pan, I said, “I quit my job. Now I’ll have time to pick you up after class.”
