A Natural Act (Contradictions)
“Who designed this pathetic excuse for a village?” Nigel snaps at me after he ignores the GPS for the third time because “it’s made by the Japanese.”
I tried to tell him that my parents’ house is down the second turn to the right but he snapped and told me to shut up so I did just that.
“Why couldn’t you get them to come to ours? It’s much nicer anyway.”
Because you always make them feel like they’re not good enough to step foot in the house.
I keep my thoughts to myself because ...I know he doesn’t want me to answer.
Seen and not heard. I’m here to look good, not contribute. Besides, whatever I do say will be used against me anyway.
“There’s graffiti everywhere here,” he continues his rant. I’m fairly sure what he was looking at were just the chalk drawings of children. They should neither be seen nor heard.
I count my blessings that I’ve managed to make my quarterly contraceptive injections without any suspicion on his part so far.MoreLess
