Cruel And Unusual Breakfast

I’m a college student living at home to save money. On class days, I have an extremely late lunch break, so I make myself a big breakfast in the morning, so I don’t need to carry snacks around.

One morning, I’m frying eggs and peppers for a breakfast burrito while my younger brother sits at the table waiting for our mom to bring him to school.

Brother: “You should get a job torturing people.”

Me: “…Why?”

Brother: “All you have to do is cook stuff and not let them eat it.”

I know he’s at the “bottomless pit” stage of adolescence, but a compliment is a compliment!
