Be My Neat-Heart (2006)
“I pushed Molly’s door open and walked inside. Today was the day we’d planned to organize what Molly calls the “inner sanctum”—her bedroom. Molly’s home reminds me of a delta, layer upon layer of sediment, stuff washed up upon more stuff until it becomes a new land-mass all its own. It’s no wonder Molly is overwhelmed and has given up trying to sort through this.
We’d cleared the floor in one small spot on the carpet yesterday and I’d left her with the assignment to keep excavating. I know it wa...s slow going with Molly squealing every few minutes over a sweater she thought she’d lost or a missing earring revealed. It was like being on an archeological dig—slow, tedious and with the tantalizing promise of intriguing discoveries at the end. In this case, the discovery was Molly’s bedroom floor.
I suppose I should thank her for toughening her brother up for me.
I recalled last night when Jared had shown up at my front door bearing my lost pen, and cringed. Why he hadn’t run off screaming, I still haven’t figured out.MoreLess
