Noticing Something Weird
During break time at school, Jack and Oliver settled into their favorite spot, as they always did, playing with their toys and chatting. Jack, curious as ever, asked Oliver about his favorite meal and what dishes his parents usually made for him.
“I don’t really know. My mom doesn’t cook. I usually eat bread,” Oliver replied casually. Surprised by his friend’s response, Jack pressed for more details. “She’s home late most nights, so I just put some peanut butter on bread for dinner,” Oliver explained. At that moment, Jack gained a deeper understanding of Oliver’s quiet nature. He sensed that there was more behind Oliver’s simple words, hinting at the reasons for his friend’s reserved behavior.
