"Not like you to be late for free food, big brother," Su said with her patented tomboy brat expression.
"I wouldn't be judging the eating habits of others, Su. Not with how big you're butt's been getting."
"Jack, you...you...I can't believe that...!"
Su was lost for words, but Pop was in good spirits and guffawed at my inappropriate humor. The truth was I shouldn't have said it, and I knew it. Even if I hadn't been joking about my sister's ass, I knew better than to make fun of a girl's weight. Mama shot me a glare but then smiled at Su.
"Jack doesn't mean it. He knows that roundin' out is part of becoming a woman. You're lovely."
"You are beautiful, Su," I said, a little abashed, "I didn't mean to say otherwise."
Su blushed then, bright red, and looked down at her liver and onions.
