Nobody uses this door to get in.
Everybody uses the other entry, by the kitchen.
Also friends and visitors, by now, have taken the habit of ringing the bell of the kitchen door.
Mum once complained and asked
“But way didn’t you come to the other door, here is so messy, in the kitchen corridor…”
Now she has stopped asking.
So the main entry remains aseptically out of use.
But the big China vase, which belonged to my great-grandparents,
has its effective usefulness.
As a child, I threw there all the chocolates and candies papers,
to not allow mum guess how many I had eaten.
Once in a while, when she cleaned the vase, she found all the papers
and she repeated that it was not a dusty bin.
Now it’s Dad who does the same…
So inside the vase there is always evidence
of a gluttony crime!
