The glazed jelly donut

"He knew when to leave the boy's mother alone and how best to ask her for ice cream. Don't ask her too often and when you do, don't let her know how much you really want it. Don't beg. Don't whine.

"He knew which restaurants would serve them lunch and which would not. He knew which barbers would cut their kind of hair. The best ones, of course.

"The thing that he loved most about America, he once confided to the boy, was the glazed jelly donut. Can't be beat."

Julie Otsuka, in the novel "When the Emperor Was Divine"
