no subject, #5A
My second brother found out about me moving to England and said
"Well, she owes it all to me. It's because of me telling her to work hard and not do drugs that she's where she is now."
I tell you, I almost keeled over. I heard it over the phone but I could picture him as he said it; his greased blonde hair slapped to his skull like Potter's Malfoy, his mouth opening and closing like a gutted fish.
I was angry at first (at first?), but arguing with him is a fruitless effort. You could say the sky was blue and he'd spit at you and say it was pink, because that's the way things genuinely are for him. All crazy reddish hues.
If my family knew half the things about my life I never told them, well that sure as hell would wipe the smile off my brother's trout-lips.
But I wouldn't even have a family if I told my family all the things I've kept. We would all implode on my secrets.
