On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron(围裙)—the one with the race cars all over it. The ritual (老规矩) began 26 breakfast when Dad always announced, “Go ahead everyone. I’ll 27  the dishes!” For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads (歌谣) like “I Had a Hat When I Came in.” and “Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Marphy’s Chowder?”

I suppose it was 28  for a boy’s father to wear an apron—even one with race cars— 29 I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August.

“The dishes !?” I 36  in surprise.

“Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?” father said.

I started to say something about a man’s 37 or woman’s work, but I knew immediately that my protests (抗议) would be 38 . I didn’t taste a bit of 39 that morning. Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game.

“I want you to have this apron on, Tommy. It’ll keep your clothes from getting 43 . ” And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I 44  this.”

With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked 45 at the dishes. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. He was always happy to help the family. My anger soon flew off and I began to sing.
