The Argument

“I don’t want it,” Daughter said. She tried to hand back a cut-glass candy dish that used to be her great grandmothers.

“Just take it. It’s much better than anything else you have.” Mother looked around the humble apartment with disdain.

“I don’t want anything from you. You were never there when I needed you. Now you want to make me drop out of college and take over your store. Get out!”

Mother slammed the door. Daughter threw the dish. It shattered.

“Huh.” Daughter picked up the pieces. “It doesn’t look any different.”
