Discussion with Mum
Last night, my Mum and I went out to supper. We ended up talking about relationships: how my sister, Jess, is settling for her boyfriend because she thinks she can’t find someone who challenges her, about how I could have fallen in love with Grain but somehow never did, about how Jess tried to make make up for her own Mum’s detachment by adopting my Mum and how my Mum had to push her away so she could focus on me, about how I would put Matte down by using my superior intelligence to prevail in discussions with her, about how my Grandpa pushed my Mum and Auntie away so he didn’t feel the guilt of betraying them by having affairs.
