it's good to be cared for

Actual conversation between me and Oscar this morning. I'd planned on skipping breakfast, just bringing an apple to school for my 9:30am break. This was about 5 minutes before we usually leave the house.

"Hey! Have some coffee."

"No, thanks."
"Why not?"
"I don't want any."
"Well, have a plate of pasta."

"Uh--"

"It's delicious, I made it for Ignacio's lunch. It's warm, I'll make up a plate."

"Uh--"

"Let me get you a fork."

"Uh--"

"And a napkin. Here you go."

Remember, I have one of the least pushy host families.
