"You look worse than me."

I stood at the foot of the bed of my new roommate. He had broken both  of his legs and thought I looked worse than him.

"How'd you end up like that," I asked him.

"Hit by a car," he answered quickly, so quickly I was a bit suspicious. "You?"

"I don't know," I answered.

"How don't you know how you ended up with a face bruised so bad that you're own mom would be scared to look at you?" He rudely asked.

"Amnesia. Thanks for being so polite about my appearance," I stomped to my side of the room.

"Sorry, I was just joking around," he said.

"Sure," I replied.

But my new roommate's words made me wonder, what happened to my mother?

I had been reintroduced to everyone in my family but my father never talked about my mom. All he said was "Uh, kid, it's always been like this. End of  discussion."
