Chapter 11

??Ma, I??ll never eat all this,?? Joey said, gesturing at the mountain of food.

??Feh, it??s only a few leftovers.??

Kevin watched as the entire worktop soon was covered in various strange looking foodstuffs.

Turning to Kevin, Joey said, ??My mother has been feeding her family leftovers for the past thirty years, I??ve yet to see the original meal.??

Kevin couldn??t help giggling, which stopped immediately when Mrs Goldman fixed him with a look.

??Are you Jewish, young man???

??Oh no, Mrs, um, Goldman, if anything I suppose I??m an atheist.??

??Feh, that??s stupid, atheists don??t get any religious holidays.??

Joey started to snigger, but he stopped when the look was turned on him.

??I??ll heat up this chicken soup. You??ll have some, won??t you??? she turned to Kevin. ??Even atheists have to eat.??

??Ma, I was going to order a pizza.??
