The Two F's of Life

A man weary fumbles for the keys to his sanctuary after an extremely busy day in the office. As he steps into the foyer, a exhilarating aroma engulfs him. His salivary glands go into hyper drive as he takes off his jacket and loosens his tie. Filled with energy once more, he dashes around the corner to see a welcoming sight.

His wife stands by the stove, stirring a large pot with a ladle. She carefully pours a small amount onto a plate and brings it towards her lips. After tilting her head, she realizes that it needs a bit more seasoning. Knowing that her husband is back home, she turns to him and asks for the salt in the cabinet behind him.

He hurries to comply, for his stomach starts to rumble. As he passes the salt shaker to her, he gives her a hug and kisses her cheek. She giggles like a young girl, while blushing ever so slightly as she pours in the salt. As she puts on the finishing touches, she starts to ladle the stew onto six plates.

Setting the plates on the table, the man ventures onto the second floor to call upon his son and his family. He notices that his child is developing wrinkles and his hair is starting to turn gray. He beams upon his two beautiful grandchildren, as they head towards the kitchen.

Ah, dinner with the family after an extremely long day at work.

(Time: 9 minutes and 57 seconds... this one was a tough one)
