"Everyone was looking at me ..."
You said, chewing on your food.
"I don't know why ..." You continued uncertainly.
Finally, the much awaited table conversation was emerging.

You chuckled and said, "Maybe ..."
"Or maybe because they are just looking at your handsome face," Mom teased lightly.
You nodded and replied in good humour,
"Yeah, I think so. That must be it ..."
Mom laughed.
She did not see how You cleverly manipulated the situation, and somehow brought the interrogation to an end, with that witty response.
Mom left it at that and did not pursue anymore. Sitting there in silence, your mother watched You finished your lunch happily. Your appetite was good, she noticed.
Mom stood up, walked over to the kitchen, to get You a small tub of tutti-fruity yoghurt.
