Beautifully expressed. Although the point of the story is what a great storyteller dad was, I remember that meal differently. I thought it was Jeff’s new friend who continued eating the cake, probably because his parents told him that even though the food might be different in the US, he needed to eat everything that was served to him. Do YOU actually remember eating that cake?
Actually, you are right - he did keep eating the cake politely. But Dad wriggling his face around was about my also eating it. I don't think it would be like Dad to make fun of a guest like that. But me - fair game! And I loved it.
