"Yeah, yeah ma," he said a bit embarrassed. "Good night," he said rubbing a hand through his hair. He turned to Ginger, a little red in the face. "Fresh churros," he said pointing at the plate his mom had prepared. He picked up up and blew on it experimentally. He finished it quickly in just a few bites like a champ and wiped his hands on a dish towel. "Did you want anything?" he asked. "We always have sweet tea and some kind of juice," he suggested.
