You smile, shaking your head but otherwise ignoring me entirely.
After five more minutes of ranting, “pareh nga?” Your glance is quizzical.
 
Watching the way your shoulders evolve into your arms, I try to hide my smiling eyes.
I recall going to Serrekunda market yesterday to get chewi kong ingredients simply because of the way you happily lick your fingers upon cleaning your plate. My feigned annoyance battles my inward glee.
