Golden Nugget

About 9 months ago, a girl came to class with a black eye. I didn't ask any questions. I just cut my potatoes, made the soup, and kept it moving. Six month mark, young cat stopped cutting his potatoes a little early. Skipped washing dishes and cleaning his area. Started leaving class 30 minutes early. This idiot moved the girl in. I didn't say anything. Cut my potatoes. Made my soup. And minded my business. Today, she goes ham on ol boy. Using all kinds of unsavory ingredients to describe his ass. Chefs walked around baffled. I just shook my head. Cut my potatoes and finished my soup. Moral of the story, it takes about 5 yrs for black eyes to heal. Healthy people, stop getting with hurting people until they're fully healed. Y'all better cut those potatoes, mind your mind and focus on finishing your soup. The younger me would have never seen today coming. But I knew 9 months ago what was about to go down.
