It's a windy day, and the wind is blowing so hard that it "sealed us in" . Shmoop says it's because of a "card" , which is a fancy word for a piece of paper that's been stuck in the wind. He and his mom are out for a walk, and he's making dinner for them. He says he'll be back soon, too, since his dad and brother aren't home to see him. He's not worried about his mom's plans, though, because he knows she's going out with her friends tonight, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all. He asks if the food tasted good, and she says it did. He tells her that he hates "konnyaku," but that there's "plenty of people" who'll eat it off their plates for them, even if they hate it. He also says that his big brother, Shu-San, loves it, and that he hopes it turns out okay. He thanks Shu-san for teaching him how to cook, and says that he'd like to learn to cook for his mom, too.
