00:00When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then.
00:03And I remember one night in particular when she had made dinner after a long, hard day at work.
00:08My mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad.
00:12I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed.
00:15Yet all dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was
00:19at school.
00:19I don't remember what I told him that night,
00:21but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite.
00:25When I got up from the table that evening,
00:27I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits.
00:31And I'll never forget what he said.
00:33Honey, I love burned biscuits.
00:35Later that night, I went to kiss dad goodnight and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned.
00:40He wrapped me in his arms and said,
00:42Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired.
00:45And besides, a little burned biscuit never hurt anyone.
00:48Your mom looked after us even though she had a lot to do.
00:51I couldn't help her cook dinner because I was busy with work.
00:54But we can both make sure she goes to bed feeling loved.
