"Could you be any more polite?" Opal asked her son, Reeve.
Reeve had called his Aunt Millie "hair" as he stared at her elaborate hairstyle.
"It was an accident, Mom," Reeve replied, embarrassed. "I have been good at this party. I have tried everything, including the appetizer."
"Oh, but you haven't tried the lamb stew with pumpkins and pineapples," Opal said. "You will love it."
