she would say.
I would stand, not sure what to do.
How many is a few?
I was pretty sure it was more than three
but it’s probably not twenty either.
I knew if I took too many
she would be annoyed,
but was almost certain she wouldn’t mind if I took five.
But six? Or seven?
Who knew?
There was no use asking either.
She would just give me “the look”.
Why couldn’t she have just said how many?
