Eat Those Fucking Dumplings, Bitch

“Why the fuck do you need to get in my way for?”

is a very inconsiderate thing for you to say

when you’ve spent nearly 5 hours in the kitchen

making a meal that I now refuse to eat and all

I did was go in there to get a knife and wash it

before cutting some fruit.

No, I don’t feel like eating the food you made

because you didn’t speak to me like a human

being deserving of any respect this morning.

Why you thought it was reasonable for you

to have the kitchen completely all to yourself

for several hours is beyond me.

I couldn’t even go in there for a second

to get something without you swearing at me.

You had already made a lot of dumplings

by that point and you were finishing up

a last batch and you still had to sound

as angry as you did when I went into the kitchen

to get a knife because the fruit that I wanted to eat

didn’t have edible skin. You didn’t even look at me
