I called my mother tonight.
Me: “Hey, I’m coming up there this weekend.”
Mummy, sounding panicked: “Why?”
Me: “What do you mean ‘why’????”
Mummy: “Did you have another traumatic experience?!”
Me: “No! God, Mom. It’s David’s [my brother] birthday!”
Mummy: “Oh. I was going to leave town if you had another break-up. That shit is too tiring to deal with.”
Me: Silence.
Mummy: “But Mummy loves you anyway!!!!”
Me: Silence.
Ok, just because every time I’ve gone up there I’ve been recovering from a break-up or some sort of emotional upset … well, yeah, I can see her point.
