by Pam Yang · Oct 2026
Today is my mom's . My sister and I want to make a cake for her. We put eggs, milk, and in a big bowl. Then we put in two cups of sugar. We put the cake in the . It looks beautiful.
At dinner, Mom eats the cake. Her face is funny. "Hmm, it is... !" she says.
No, no! The white thing in the cups is not sugar. It is salt! We all laugh. But Mom smiles. "It is a funny cake, but I love it," she says.
