Halfway Perfect (2015)
““There’s a party tonight at Jenna Phillips’s house,” Katie says, looking right at my mom from across the table. “It’s a pre-holiday thing. Soda and board games and all that.”
“I don’t know, sweetie.” Mom’s voice emerges from the dining room where I’m about to enter. “Will her parents be home?”
“I think they’ll be right across the street at a different party,” Katie says.
Just as I sit down, my dad gives his one-word answer. “No.”
An odd and uncomfortable quiet fills the walls of... my parents’ four-bedroom tri-level home, and it has nothing to do with the tuna casserole topped with crushed potato chips that my mom is famous for.
My dad is seated at the end of our dining-room table, reading the sports page. I’m sure he already read it first thing this morning. I’m also pretty sure my mom hasn’t changed her rules of no newspapers at the table, which is why she’s busy glaring at my dad.MoreLess
