After the Wreck, I Picked Myself Up, Spread My Wings, And Flew Away
“Like an iceberg, which they say is nine tenths hidden below the surface of the water. What you see is such a small part of it, you don’t have a clue what it actually is.
How was school today, Jenna? is code for Are you adjusting? Are you going to be “normal”? and it pisses me off how my aunt and my uncle are always asking. Even my little cousins Becky and Mikey. Their parents have instructed them, Be nice to Jenna! so they try, and I love them for trying so transparently only just I’m not i...n a mood to play big sister to them. Sorry.
A secret life is the sweetest life. Also the safest.
Weekends are family time. (Even if sometimes on a rainy Sunday afternoon Uncle Dwight, the workaholic, slips back to his office at McCarty, Weissman & Associates, Architects, for a few hours before supper.) The McCartys are children-oriented, like almost everyone in Yarrow Lake, as in Tarrytown, so this means the family being together, in good weather on Yarrow Lake, where friends have a sailboat, or bicycling on the Sable Creek trail, or watching Becky play soccer at her school, or going to see Shrek 2 at the Lakeland Mall and having an early meal afterward at Leaning Tower of Pizza.MoreLess
