The Call From Eighteen Years Ago

Summary

The day I was admitted to Crownstone College, my parents threw a thirty-table banquet to celebrate my younger brother, Jason.

There was a banner across the hall.

[Congratulations to Jason on getting into vocational school. You've brought honor to the family.]

When it was time to cut the cake, Jason made a wish in front of all the guests.

"I hope my sister gets married soon and stops wasting the family's money."

The relatives raised their glasses and praised him for being so sensible. Dad beamed with pride.
