she whimpers. 'Just take a
sip.'
"So he sips, and makes a
face. I told you, I don't like
chicken soup.'
" 'Don't yell at me!' she
cries. Now with the tears.
" I'm not yelling at you!' he
screams. Why get so upset
because I don't like your
chicken soup?'
"What's wrong with my
soup? I can't cook like your
mother! I did the best I can.'
And she runs to the bat-
hroom and shuts door.
"Communication. Ha! So
maybe next week she decides
to communicate to him:
" 'I don't like the color you
painted the bathroom.'
" 'But you said you liked
yellow!'
" 'Lemon yellow, not that
greenish yellow. So you've
got to paint it over.'
" 'Yellow is yellow. It's
going to stay for a while.'
" 'Then I'll paint it.' This is
her threat.
" `Go ahead.' He decides to
call her bluff. Instead, she
runs to the bathroom and
shuts the door. She paints it.
Red.
"With communication like
this, they're divorced in three
years. She's got the one kid
and he has the alimony pay-
ments."
"But Pappa," interrupts my
daughter for whom when she
was 13 I spent $600 on the
orthodontist so that she could
talk with straight teeth,
"They really weren't com-
municating. They could have
done it another way."
I shrug. "Sure. Chicken
soup. Could you turn up the
heater. It's December al-
ready. Listen.
"When I was a boy, every
Friday my mother would boil
a chicken. Boiled chicken.
Yech! Tasteless. But I never
said anything. My mother
would have rapped me with a
spoon. Not like your mother
with you. But I get to be 15,
16, I start questioning things.
One afternoon, while my
mother is boiling the chicken,
I ask, 'Ma, how come every
Friday you boil a chicken?'
•"Your father likes chicken
soup."
"This I could accept. It was
a reason. Every Sunday
morning my mother would
make the chicken soup."
My daughter leaned over
and turned the heater down a
little. remember
Grandma's soup. It was pre-
tty good."
"Sure. Four hours of sim-
mering. Carrots, rice, salt,
pepper, whatever. What do
you think? She opened up a
can of Campbell's? It was
good soup. My father would
have it for lunch, sometimes
with supper, five, maybe six
times a week. But you didn't
have to eat the boiled chicken
every Friday night. I was
hoping for a little relief. Just
a little. So later, I'm working
with my father in the garage.
" 'Hey pa, how come you
like chicken soup so much?'
" 'What?' he says. 'I don't
like chicken soup.'
" 'But
every
Friday
Mamma boiles a chicken,
tasteless, so that she can
make you chicken soup. She
thinks you love it!'
"He looked up from what
he was doing. I'll never
forget. There was a funny,
sad smile on his face. 'I know.
Don't tell her.' "
My daughter, who goes to
school to communicate, turns
to me with her mouth open.
She can barely get out the
words. "Wo why did he eat it
if he didn't like it? All those
years!"
My daughter, the college
graduate. A diploma on the
wall. Like that schlimiel in
the adult sensitivity class.
"Listen. When he, my
father, was a young man, just
married, his young wife, his
bride, made him a bowl of
chicken soup: With sweetness
in her eyes she asked 'Do you
like it?'
"Because she was his bride,
his young wife, and com-
munication he didn't know
from 'nuclear physics, but po-
liteness he had learned, he
said, Emmm. Good! I like it!'
"So then, 35 ye.ars atter-
wards, he is still eating chic-
ken soup. And he doesn't tell
his old wife, the mother of his
five children, that he doesn't
like it. Because he doesn't
want to hurt her feelings.
Communication, relating, ex-
pressing his true feelings, he
was never taught. Love and
politeness he understands."
So last week, my daughter,
who cooks like her mother,
brought me over a pot of
chicken soup.
"Hmmm. Good! I like it!"
Whatever you do, don't tell
her. [11
Hess Pardon
Request Hit
Warsaw (JTA) — The head
of Poland's Commission for
the Investigation of Nazi
Crimes has sharply criticized
West German Chancellor
Helmut Kohl for urging that
Rudolf Hess, Hitler's former
deputy, be pardoned, the
World Jewish Congress re-
ported here. Kohl last month
sent letters to the leaders of
the four wartime Allies —
the U.S., USSR, France and
Great Britain — asking that
they agree that Hess be par-
doned and released from
Spandau Prison where he is
now the only inmate.
He had been sentenced to
life imprisonment at the
Nuremberg trials 40 years
ago.
