There's enough dry bread for two slices of toast for lunch. Two between three of us. In traditional Shona culture, Tadiwa told me, Baba (father) gets served first, then Amai (mother). She was embarrassed when she came for supper and saw we serve guests first. Children are last in line, getting whatever's left.
I'm English though. My child gets the first slice. That leaves just one slice.
"I'll go without."
"No, you have it. I don't mind mouldy bread."
If there is some, that is.
