world politics 116
Today as I was sitting in a class discussion about Somalia, I realized I forgot the sound of my moms voice.. and its not the sound of how my mom addresses me, where she sends it higher, as if I'm her pet toy. Her normal voice, the one she uses when talking to other people. To everyone else but me or my sister. I can't remember it. I can't remember it and I don't know if thats a direct result of my impression that she doesn't socialize enough or even talk to anyone. . I wasn't allowed to go out to other kids houses to play..with the exception of jake and amber who lived around the corner. My Mom's reasoning was that she didn't know their parents. But I would try, and my friends, being eager to have me come over, would get their parents on the phone, my mom would refuse to answer it and talk to them, and in the end, either I talked to them or she hung up. And of course she would be mad.. I didn't understand. She never bothered to want to meet my friends or get to know their parents. The only reasoning I can think now for all of this, is that my mom was either to tired from work, anti-social, or just plotting for my anti-social future.
