When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one             when my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely             toast (吐司) in front of my dad. I remember             to see if anyone noticed!             all my dad did was reach for his toast,             at my mom and ask me how my day was at school.
When I             from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom            to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll             forget what he said, "Baby, I love burnt toast." Later that night, I went to             dad good night and I asked him if he really             his toast burnt. He wrapped me up in his             and said, "Debbie, your mom had a             day at work today and she's really tired. And besides, a little burnt toast never             anyone! "In bed that night, I thought about the scene at dinner and the             my dad showed to my mom.
To this day, it's a cherished (珍贵的)             from my childhood that I'll never forget. And it's one that came to             just recently when Jack and I sat down to eat dinner.
As I             the plate in front of Jack, I waited for a (n)             about the burnt toast. But all I got was, "Thank you, dear! This is            . I know you had a hard day!" Just then, I thought about my parents, and was quietly thankful for having a             where burnt toast wasn't a deal-breaker either!
