but I said I talked to him … wait… “In the park. I was there with Patrick,” I said.
My dad said, “Was he there with his family? Did you bother the poor man?”
“No. He was alone.” That was enough for my dad and everybody else, and I didn’t even have to lie.
Luckily, the attention was turned off me when my mother said what she likes to say when we’re all together celebrating something.
“Who’s in the mood for ice cream?” Everyone was except for my sister. I think she was worried about the “freshman fifteen.”
The next morning started early. I still hadn’t heard from Patrick or Sam or anybody,
but I knew I would see them at graduation, so I tried not to worry too much.
All my relatives, including my dad’s family from Ohio, came to the house around ten A.M.
The two families really don’t like each other, except for all us younger cousins because we don’t know any better.
We had this big brunch with champagne, and just like last year for my brother’s graduation,
my mom gave her dad (my grandfather) sparkling apple juice instead of champagne
because she didn’t want him to get drunk and make a scene. And he said the same thing he said last year.
