Two days later I found myself staring down at a plate of spaghetti with meatballs that my ex-brother-in-law and his son, my favorite nephew in the world, had cooked for me. Leo was out for a visit as part of the custody agreement with Bryce and my sister. Bryce, my ex-brother-in-law and his boyfriend, the ex-hockey player for the Storm, Micheal Zhang, and Leo were chatting away at the dining room table where Bryce and Mike now lived. Nice place with a small yard in Glen Dale where both men could commute to work.
“Uncle Jack, I helped make the meatballs,” Leo informed me as a bowl of salad was forced into my hands. Bryce smiled in that hippie goody-goody way of his but his eyes were firm. “And the salad. I picked the lettuce, and tomato from the garden. The cucumber too. You should eat some. Dad says fresh greens make you smile more.”
I threw Bryce a look. “I smile plenty,” I replied then grinned broadly at everyone at the table. Micheal snorted in amusement. I liked the guy. He was good for Bryce, and vice versa. They seemed happy as hell. “I just have a lettuce swallowing reflex ailment that makes me gag anytime lettuce slides down my throat. It’s really a curse. The last guy I—”
“Okay, so no salad for Uncle Jack.” Bryce glared at me as he swept the salad bowl away. Mission accomplished.

This made me laugh. I have a nephew who eats no vegetables at all, including salad. Great scene.
Clever humor. On the opposite side, I know someone who ONLY eats lettuce.
Very funny snippet!! And from someone who I presume eats plenty of lettuce!! Great family scene. Well done!
Nice! That was definitely a cleaver way out of eating a salad! I love the relationships in the scene and how they interact. Great job!
Haha! Great scene. I love how that conversation got cut short.
