Say When
“Andrés says I can paint in his kitchen, and I really want to try my hand at that beautiful courtyard on The Riverwalk.
I pull in front of the house and heave a frustrated groan. Mom’s car is parked in the circular driveway. Great.
I notice Marta’s little station wagon is also parked in the drive. Marta is our Mexican housekeeper. Her choppy English bothers Mother, so she usually makes up some excuse like having a migraine, and keeps to her room while Marta cleans. If I’m lucky, I can sl...ip in quietly without being seen or heard by my mother, grab what I need, and be back out the door before she knows I’m there.
No such luck.
The Spitting Cobra is waiting for me when I walk into the foyer. She must have some kind of guilt trip radar I’m unaware of.
“Oh, how nice of you to stop by,” she hisses.
I roll my eyes and walk past her, practically flying up the stairs in an effort to escape her venom.MoreLess
