You (2010)
“The way you see it—the way your parents see it—she can do no wrong. The yin to your yang.
She’s wearing her pink pajamas, but no socks, and has a bright blue folder in her hands. Without saying anything, you flick open the blanket and toss a section across her legs, reaching over to make sure her toes are covered. She sets the folder on her lap and looks way up at you and waits.
“What channel?”
She smiles her gap-toothed, cute-as-hell smile. “Twenty-two, please.”
You flick. It’s Dora the Explor...er—it’s always Dora the Explorer.
“Thank you.”
You watch her watch, her lips moving along to the theme song, her hands clapping together without making a sound.
Every girl is somebody’s sister.
You reach over and slide the folder out from under her tiny hands. “Whatcha got?” You don’t notice how your voice changes when you talk to her.
She looks at you and rolls her eyes. Now you’re the master of the obvious. “My folder.”
“I know that. What’s inside?”
Another eye roll.MoreLess
