I'm Just an Outsider in My Mother's Home

Summary

During the holidays, I specifically go home to spend quality time with my family.

Mom brings out a bowl of persimmons and says in a half-teasing manner, "This is for the Sherman family. Once you eat a persimmon, you'll be blessed with good luck. Outsiders aren't allowed to take from this bowl."

Everyone begins fighting for the persimmons. I decide to grab one for myself as well.

The next thing I know, the living room goes eerily silent. Dad drags me to the corner before he starts berating me.
