Giotto's Ironic Figures: A Narrative Fiction

Staff joins the children during lunch, and tries to make the occasion an enjoyable and sociable time for everyone and at the same time ensure there is not any rowdiness.

At these lunches, we would discuss our weeks. Even though we were not in school during the time, it was a good opportunity to say what was on our minds, which we all enjoyed. Sitty would sit in her spot playing Candy Crush on the iPad and we would discuss the pros and cons of the game followed by explaining something about the iPhone to Giddy. We had great times at the lunches and will continue to have them as long as the grandkids are still around. It was commonly known that the adults were welcomed to join us for Thursday Lunch but due to working conditions, only one or two of my aunts were able to make it. They would also talk about what was going on during the week. Having the adults was great because there was a sense of having no barriers between the different generations, that there was a time for us to just… talk. Often times we would come over to their house for dinner or for another lunch during the week and we would still do the same things as we did at Thursday Lunch, but it was nice to always look forward to an invite every Thursday morning.

“Tizio’s grandmother invited me too. I thought I’d tag alone with you two unless you want to have Tizio take me. He’s at work and we have a couple of things to finish before I can leave.”

"Right. I forgot that fast." I roll my eyes and unlock the door for her. She climbs in.

"Do Seuss what mom said!" Dad said sternly and I flinch back, he continue "They have settled today in the morning and haven't set up yet. I guess they are fatigued too. Now, they don't have any cooking stuff and it's night though. All grocery store are closed and to order haven't know numbers" said breathless with concern.

“Come this way. One visitor at a time for now, please.” She added, turning to my friends, who had started to stand up as well.

We were assigned about 35 kids to take care of throughout the conference. The children ages ranged from 3 to 12 years. We assigned the children into groups according to their age. The first group was for ages 3 to 5 the second was for ages 6 to 8, and the third was for ages 9 to 12. We served the kids bacon, scrambled eggs, pancakes, and sausages for breakfast at 9.30 am. I could not help noticing the joy in the kid's faces, and one kid told me that the meal was the best breakfast she ever had.
