In this story, a conversation unfolds between a mother and her child. The child is suspicious of the mother’s behavior, particularly regarding a large amount of cash on the bed, which the mother claims is from selling her car. The mother insists she’s just counting the money to ensure it's all there, but her evasiveness raises questions for the child, who notices inconsistencies in her story. The child then shifts the focus to their own needs, asking for dinner, and the mother suggests making pasta, attempting to divert the conversation from the money. The interaction reveals underlying tension and hints at possible secrets or concerns within their relationship.
