“When I was thirteen, I started to get interested in cooking, myself. Mother suggested some good training programs for adolescent chefs… actually no, that’s not right. Mother picked out ONE program and actually enrolled me in it, but my father pulled me out of that one. He said it needed to be my choice, not hers, so then she offered half a dozen alternative courses, and I picked one.”
“I think I’m sensing some mommy issues,” Vanessa said.
“I guess she was used to being in charge, especially when it came to the kitchen. Wyatt was her birth name; did you know that? Dad agreed to change his, when they married, because she was the brand, the star.”

I like this a lot. Mommy issues. Too funny. Always use humor even in the worst of times. Looking forward to what happens next.

His mom sounds like she wanted to continue the legacy, but I don’t think cooking skills are hereditary.

Sounds like he is rattling on out of nerves or something, interesting.

I ran out of time to do more than leave a brief comment, but this was really good — even in snippets I can see the creativity!
