Age 7
There’s a Popsicle in my mouth.
Orange.
It’s my favorite flavor and my favorite color. But that’s not what makes it
the best Popsicle in the whole world. No, it’s the best Popsicle because my
best friend, Max, is eating one right beside me.
Smiling, I kick my feet back and forth on the swing as one sticky hand
curls around the chain and we both sway in opposite time. Max’s twin
brother, McKay, plays in the sandpit across the playground, digging plastic
shovels and toy tractors into the sand and making zoomy sounds. McKay’s
Popsicle is purple, but orange is way better.
It’s a perfect summer morning. The sun is extra bright and the blue sky is
striped with clouds. I imagine hopping from one to another, my sneakers
sinking in the mounds of fluff.
“Think we’ll get married one day like my mom and dad?” Max wonders
aloud, straightening his legs out, then bending his knees as he moves back
and forth on the swing.
“Sure,” I say with a firm nod.
“That would be cool, right? McKay could live with us, too.”
“I love that idea.” I smile at him, watching his mop of brown hair stick
straight up when he pushes forward on the swing. “When should we get
married?”
“I dunno,” he says. “When we’re older, I guess.”
“Your parents are kind of old. I don’t want to wait that long.”
“We can be younger. Maybe in a couple of years.”
“Okay.”
McKay makes a loud noise and jabs his violet-stained Popsicle stick into
the sand. I giggle before glancing over at Max. “You’re lucky you still live
with your brother,” I tell him. “I miss mine.”
I miss Jonah so much.
Mom too.
But especially Jonah.
He’s four years older than me and my greatest protector. One time, he
pushed a little kid off a play set because the bully was throwing rocks at me
down below and making me cry. The boy broke his ankle and Jonah got in
really big trouble. But he did it for me, so that makes him the best big
brother in the whole world. We used to pretend we were Winnie the Pooh
characters and the woods behind our horse farm were the Hundred Acre
Wood, just like in the storybook.
I love stories. I love books.
I love Jonah.
“My brother is a pain sometimes,” Max replies. He watches his brother
for a moment before swiveling toward me, his dark eyebrows lifting. “You
like me more than McKay, right?”
“Yeah.” My lips pucker as I think about it. “You’re nicer to me and I like
your dimples.”
“We look the same,” he reminds me.
