Fiction Reviews: After you, my dear Alphonse

The gingerbread is ready to be eaten, everything is ready. Jonathan, her son and Boyd, his friend, are entering the kitchen to eat, it's lunch time. On the table other than the gingerbread there are two model tanks, the mother urges them to eat and then they can go and play.

They say to each other 'After you, my dear Alphonse'   a funny way to make fun of yourself, certainly for them it is not a polite form.

Mrs. cares about the black friend of Jonathan, she thinks that in her house there is little food and little wood to keep warm and then since the boy does not eat tomatoes, she leads her to think that he will be a weak man and therefore a slacker. The boys do not have a good opinion of their mothers, Jonathan believes that his mother is sometimes screwy. Boyd referring to his mother will say 'After you, my dear Alphonse'
