"Another Perspective of Everyday Use" by Yumna Amir

Dee:(slams the car door shut and sits with angered look) I can't stand Mama!
Hakeem-A-Barber:( turns
on car and drives off) Why not? She seems to be a caring person.
Dee:(turns sharply to H-A-B) Excuse me, but she needs to learn to let go items I happen to ask for.
Hakeem-A-Barber:(in thought then speaks)Well the quilts are in HER possession, so she has the rights to give them to anyone she wants.
Dee:(dumbfounded by his answer) Oh, so now you agree that Mama should have given the quilts to Maggie?!
Hakeem-A-Barber:Think about in this way, Maggie has been there for you Mom helping her, and being there for her. You on the other hand chose to study and have an education. Just because you've had an interest in heritage lately doesn't mean you should have the quilts.
Dee:(agitated)
Hakeem-A-Barber:(continues, unnoticed bu Dee's reaction) Maggie deserves the quits. She's always willingly gave most things to you. Let her have a treasured gift her Mom is willingly ready to hand over
to.
