It is way better to dive down and get out of the way than it is to get clobbered by some parental tidal wave.
The funny thing is, Lynetta’s still clueless when it comes to dealing with Mom and Dad.
She goes straight into thrash mode and is too busy drowning in the argument to take a deep breath and dive for calmer water.
And she thinks I’m stupid. Anyway, true to form, Lynetta tried to bait me with Juli those first few days.
She even snuck her past Dad once and marched her all around the house, hunting me down.
I wedged myself up on the top shelf of my closet, and lucky for me, neither of them looked up.
A few minutes later I heard Dad yell at Juli to get off the antique furniture, and once again, she got booted.
I don’t think I went outside that whole first week. I helped unpack stuff and watched TV
and just kind of hung around while my mom and dad arranged and rearranged the furniture,
debating whether Empire settees and French Rococo tables should even be put in the same room.
So believe me, I was dying to go outside. But every time I checked through the window, I could see Juli showing off in her yard.
She’d be heading a soccer ball or doing high kicks with it or dribbling it up and down their driveway.
