I Grew Up Poor—My Friend’s Rich Mom Screamed When She Saw How I Held My Knife

I grew up very poor. Dinner was toast with some cheese.

At 12, I went to a then-friend’s fancy house. Her mom set up a nice table with hot meals. As I was cutting my meat, her mom freaked out. She looked at me and shouted, “Are you using a KNIFE like that? What kind of home are you from?”

I froze. The room got quiet in that sharp, stinging way where even the walls seem to listen. The knife trembled a bit in my hand. I had no idea what I’d done wrong. I thought I was just eating.
