My Brother's Keeper (2005)
My Brother's Keeper
“D’s; instead there’s a beat-up white car with a Grateful Dead sticker on the bumper. As soon as I open the door I can see Jake in the den watching TV with Andy Timmons and his goatee, along with some other kid I’ve never seen before. Andy Timmons is sprawled out on the couch and his boots are propped up on our mom’s glass coffee table. The stereo and the TV are both on and bags of chips and Doritos and Cheetos and bottles of Yoohoo and Mountain Dew are lying all over the place.
I stand in the d...oorway watching them watching TV and waiting for them to move. They don’t. Which reminds me of the time Jake and I spied on a guard at a wax museum, waiting for him to do something like blink his eyes or scratch his butt so we’d be able to tell if he was real or if he was part of the museum. After a while, when all they do is sit there like wax museum people, I go up to my room, which is also Jake’s and Eli’s room, and close the door.
At which point, I turn into psycho ADD housewife—stacking up old copies of Mad magazine in chronological order, matching up all the tube socks on the floor, and sorting Eli’s Beanie Babies by species.MoreLess
