A simple visit

I try to keep things simple and I try to be fair. I learn to stay open and to think about just capturing the moment. What started out as a vision to the future quickly had me questioning the thought. It all began with a simple visit

We woke up tired and early to go get salmon and pasta. I had it in my head that I wanted to make our blending family lasagna. I had already bought all the ingredients but due to all the mass hysteria with the COV-19 people seem to be buying out all pasta. So I would have to wait till the next day to get pasta. There was a special on Salmon that he wanted to get first thing in the morning so we went.

830am we went to the store and he ordered a full filet. I decided to order one as well. At $5.99, why not? We come home and descaled the fish, sectioned it and wrapped each individual portion. We left out 5 pieces to cook for our 6 people family….

I wondered why five pieces, with each fillet making 8 pieces or 16 total, why were we only using five. I tried not to question anything and then I began to look and noticed three of the pieces were rather large and two were smaller. He cut one of the pieces in two and gave those to my children and then the tiny piece to me. The three larger pieces were for himself and his kids.

Should I assume this happened coincidentally? Should I ask what this was all about? Is he assuming that me and my kids are not as hungry? Maybe he thinks his kids eat more? Am I making more of the situation than I need to? Should I say anything or just be quiet? The questions just kept rolling in and I was unable to stop them.

I wanted to say something but I could not. We shouldn’t be stingy. There were two fillets and 16 pieces to choose from. I think what upset me more was the fact that even after everything was said and done, my kids and I ate all of our food and the ones that did not eat all their fish were his kids. So you give them these big portions and they dont even eat them.
