SHANE
addy. Daddy. Daddy. Daddy. Daddy.”
“Mmmph?”
“Summer said to woke you up.”
“Hunh?”
“I already brushed my teeth, but I’m hungry. Why can’t we have
toothpaste for eating?”
There’s a forty-pound human straddling my back, and I can’t move my
head to see the clock. “Wha? What time is it?”
“Summer said it’s okay.”
“Where is she?”
“In the kitchen. Cleaning up.”
“Cleaning up what? You gotta climb off me, buddy. I have to get up.”
Lucky slides off me and onto the rug with a little thud. “She said don’t
tell you.”
Yeah, that sounds like Summer. It’s funny how they take turns being the
good twin and the naughty one. This year, Lucky’s the good one. He’s
already dressed in his private school polo shirt and khaki pants.
“Hey, you’re all dressed.”
“Yeah.”
“Good for you, little man.” I reach out to muss up his light-brown hair
—perfectly tousled just like his dad’s—and with the other hand I reach for
my phone. “Fuck.” Seven thirty. “Shit. Get your shoes on, buddy.” I spring
to life. I got this. I pull on the jeans that I’d conveniently left on the floor
right by my bed and grab the first T-shirt I can get my hands on.
“I can’t find them.”
“The ones you wore yesterday?” He has like five pairs of shoes in this
house.
“I don’t know where they are.”
“Then wear another pair.”
“I can’t find any of my shoes.”
Goddamit. I bet I know what happened. Margo let Summer watch that
Marie Kondo tidying up show, and ever since then, my daughter has been
throwing out things that she doesn’t think we need and reorganizing
everything she could reach in the kids’ rooms. Last weekend I came home
to find my housekeeper Consuelo crying because she couldn’t find
anything, and she was afraid I’d think she stole from us.
It’s going to be one of those mornings.
Well, the good news is I slept for an hour. Bad news is I have less than
half an hour to get these guys ready and on the school property. It’s fine.
There’s time. Twelve minutes to get to school as long as the PCH isn’t
backed up. Five to ten minutes to make sure my kids are fed and relatively
presentable, and who’s to say that today won’t be the first day in the history
of five-year-olds that they’ll actually get out of the house when I need them
to? Thank God I got their lunches ready last night.
“You checked everywhere in your room?” I hold out my hand to see if
Lucky will take it as we walk out of my room and downstairs. He doesn’t
need to, but I still like to get in a little handholding whenever I can before
they turn six and really start asserting their independence. I feel his hand in
mine, and my heart melts just a little.
