Jace woke up the next morning slightly hung over. The birthday "after party" was everything he could have wished for in a coming of age party. However, he could have done without the morning after headache.Glancing at the clock, Jace knew it was too late to find a real job. Truth was, he didn't know what he wanted in a new job.
Jace picked his himself up out of bed and continued with his daily routine. After dressing, there was a pit stop by the fridge for orange juice, straight from the carton. Then straight to the television, where he would watch cartoons until Isaiah was out of school.
Jace plopped down on the sofa next to
o the daily newspaper. The massive headline caught his attention, PESTICIDE CHEMICAL DEEMED UNSAFE, MILLIONS OF FOOD RECALLED. Jace looked in horror as he read through the article and was even more horrified to find most of the contents of the family refrigerator on the recalled list."Mom, have you seen this?" Jace said, holding the paper up.
"No hon. What is it?" She said sitting her guitar down and taking the paper in her hands. "That's not good. Good thing your father started that garden in the yard."
Jace hardly considered an apple tree and a tomato plant a garden. But it would definitely have to work he thought as he started cleaning out the refrigerator.
