Don't Ever Change
“my mother asks. I’m holding the keys and my backpack and standing by the front door.“Um”—I look down at my Sunny Skies shirt and the pink-and-turquoise lanyard around my neck and wonder if it isn’t apparent—“to camp?”“What day is today?”“Friday,” I say, pretty sure it’s Friday.“And what did we schedule for Friday?”“Mom,” I say, “I think it’s obvious I don’t know, so just tell me.”“Your appointments,” she says, drawing it out, giving me the opportunity to jump in. “Your two appointments . . . wi...th . . . ?”“I’ve never made an appointment in my life,” I say.“I made the calls, Eva.”“But I have work today.”“This is more important,” she says. “You’re leaving soon.”“I don’t want to go to the dentist.”“And the doctor,” she says.This time I’m not the one to call in sick—my mother does it. If there’s a lesson there, then I’m choosing not to see it, and if there’s a story, well, I don’t want to know about that either.At the dentist’s office Dr.MoreLess
