On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron（围裙）?the one with the race cars all over it．    21 _breakfast Dad always announced: "Go ahead everyone．I'll   22  the dishes!"

I suppose it was  23  for a boy's father to wear an apron? even one with race cars?  24  I never thought much of it until the last Sunday in August．As we  25   home slowly from church together, my father seemed very  26  ．"Tommy," he said letting my name roll off his   27  ．"There comes a time in every boy's  28  when he must take on responsibilities．It's time you 29  a greater role in the family．From now on, I want you to__30__the dishes on Sunday morning, so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle（纵横字谜）together．"

"The dishes!?" I  31 in surprise．

I started to say something about a man's  32  or woman's work, but I knew immediately that my protests（抗议）would be 33 .

I didn't taste a bit of 34  that morning．Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game．

At the end of the meal, my father   35  : "Let's go read the paper, Honey．" "Aren't you doing the dishes?" my   36  asked surprisedly．Father smiled and said, "your oldest son has 37  to fill the position．"

"I want you to have this apron on, Tommy．It'll keep your clothes from getting 38  ．" And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me．"Thanks, Son．Your mother and I 39  this．"

With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper．I looked 40  at the dishes．I could see my dad reaching for the dishes．He was always happy to help the family．My anger soon flew off and I began to sing．
