My Side (2013)
“I call as I come through the door the following week. “I’m home.”
My mom pokes her head out of the kitchen. She looks surprised to see I’m not alone. Kayla, Shayna and Jen are with me. I introduce them. They sound polite enough when they greet her, but there’s something snotty in their voices and in the way they gaze around, taking in the furniture we’ve had forever, the framed needlework on the walls that my mother is so proud of, the wear marks on the floor. I’ve never been to their houses, b...ut something tells me everything in them is newer and shinier and more expensive.
“We’re going up to my room,” I say.
“I’ll bring you some lemonade and cookies,” my mom says. “I made them this afternoon.”
Kayla makes a big fuss about that, telling my mother how she’d love a homemade cookie because her mother is always far too busy to cook, and anyway she’s not very good at it because when she was married and they were living with her dad, they had a housekeeper who took care of all that.MoreLess
