humorous play of a family
Answers
A Little Too Sweet
We lived in a joint family of 22 people in our ancestral home in Calcutta. My great aunt, the matriarch, ruled the household with an iron fist. A younger great aunt resented her dictatorial ways and often paid her back in kind, quietly but fiercely. One of her duties was to serve her eldest sister-in-law tea every evening. The brew had to be just right before it was poured into a fine china cup with two spoonfuls of sugar. However, the matriarch always found fault, sending it back to be prepared all over again. Finally, tired of the older woman's tantrums, my great aunt decided to teach her a lesson. She boiled the tea for 10 minutes, added seven spoons of sugar, stirred it well and presented it to her sister-in-law with a flourish. As expected, all hell broke loose, but much to her delight, the trickster was thereafter banished from the kitchen forever.
