“You want me to do the dishes?”

that day. Dad seemed in merry mood as he described an excellent game.
Everything grew quiet. My sister began to 49 the table. My brother was scraping(刮掉) the last of the egg from his plate. My father
50:” let’s go read the paper, Hon.”

I want you to have this, Tommy. It will keep your clothes from getting wet. Thanks, son.”
58 that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron. It had seen better days. I could see my dad 59 for the dishes and washing them happily. My dark angel disappeared. Soon I was singing a song about an(a)60
