SONYA POV:
Family reunions.
When you think about them, they are rather a dominant element in the cinematic fictious world, but what if I told you that I was actually living one right now ? And unlike how you picture it, it doesn't involve a crying parent or child, neither does it look like a bittersweet hug between two distant cousins or siblings ..
Nah . Way with that.
Instead, my version of a family reunion involved a mop , and a big yard.
Yep , you heard it right . Right now , from the safe spot where I was watching , my mom was chasing my older sister with a mop in her hand; It all started when my sister set foot inside the house with her suit cases.
Meanwhile, I was feasting on a bowl of salted crackers.
Moments later, my mom followed by Amanda come inside, the latter halting all the way back in. As for mom - don't let her age fool you- was quite the athletic.
Back inside, two glasses of water were waiting for them . My mom gulped one before she put the glass back with a loud thud, making me jump from my seat.
She begins , with her hard , motherly, frown. " I told you that loser was no good for you !"
Across from her, on the opposite side of the table, was Tara, who has already consumed her glass of iced water.
She whines." I will never run away ma !! "
She nudges me. " Help me "
-" I can hear you !"
Even before my parents went through the divorce, Tara and mom has always had this special Tom and jerry relationship. With Janet being born, I was demoted to the one in the middle, aka the sister with the least interesting , most stable and secured life:
That is just sister logic.
My mom was still unconvinced . In fact, her eyes were still fiery with anger, and she was still restlessly reaching for my sister on the other side ..
My mom wasn't giving in . "Where is the bastard now?"
She pouts. " I don't know , probably banging another Hawaian chick "
BEEP.
Wrong Language Alert .
It was a matter of seconds before my mom pulled her from her ear and they got into that cycle of mom yelling and my sister hopelessly whining to get away from her grip. As for me, I decide to take some alone tine in my small room upstairs before it was time to pick up little Janet from the kindergarten ..
Well if anything , the one thing my sister had missed was the birth of this little angel 3 years ago , since her departure to Hawai.
[TIME SKIP]
On the bright side, with Tara coming back home, I definitely had less responsibility towards Janet. My sister was probably going to start job haunting soon, but before she did, there will be plenty of time for her at home until she finds one .
Which means , I no longer had to babysit Janet so often ! I liked her company, but to be honest, it costed me a lot of my "me time".
[LATER THAT NIGHT ... ]
