THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO
Bland beige walls, boring furniture, and a snooty looking lady sitting
behind the reception desk. This is the first time I’ve ever been in a
lawyer’s office, and so far, it’s kind of underwhelming. I’ve heard Dad talk
about lawyers with my mom and their friends when they come to our house,
but I’ve never been interested enough to really pay attention to what they
were saying. A part of me figured it must be pretty interesting for them to
be talking about it so much, but now that I’m here, experiencing it
firsthand, I’m glad I didn’t waste my time listening.
It’s weird for all of us to be here like this. My parents travel a lot, and
when they come home, if we go out as a family, it’s usually somewhere that
we can be seen. Mom likes fancy restaurants, and Dad likes to take us to
meet people he works with. But it’s rare that we go anywhere without an
audience, and we’ve certainly never been to a lawyer’s office before.
I love my parents, but I don’t know them that well. When I was a kid, I
thought parents were supposed to be like the ones you see on TV, but then I
realized that’s what poor people’s parents are like, and we’re not poor.
My family is rich, and that means that my dad has a really important
job. I don’t actually know what he does, but when I asked my mom, she
said it wasn’t something I needed to worry about and that when I got
married, my job would be to support my husband, like she supports Dad.
When I was younger, I asked them why they didn’t take me and my
sister with them when they went away, and Mom said it was because they
were too busy to take care of us. At the time, I thought that what she said
made sense, but in the last few years, it’s started to seem like more and
more of an excuse. Izabella and I aren’t little kids anymore, we don’t need
to be looked after. Sometimes I wonder if the reason they leave us behind is
because they ended up with two kids and not just the one they wanted. It
makes me feel like a bad person, but sometimes I wonder if I wasn’t a twin
and if it was just me if they’d take me with them.
