This house was made for someone without a soul.so I guess it makes sense that my mother wanted it so badly.I can imagine how her eyes lit up when she walked through the FIVE bedroom,three and a half bath new construction.I'll bet she thinks this house is a answer to what's wrong with us.
When Tom,my stepfather,showed me the bedroom attached my room with it's own jacuzzi tub,he said ,bet you feel like cenderella , because he's an idiot.
I should be happy for my mother and Tom, because the old house took so long to sell that it nearly destroyed their marriage.I should be thrilled I don't have to hear the words terrible real estate market and bad location ever again.
Neither they are not listening agent had the balls to come out to say that no one wanted to buy a home on the street of horrors.
The worst thing about my new room is that there is no way to sneek in.The dining room is right in front of the hall, so when I get home from dance team tryouts, I can see my mother at the table eating Chinese takeout with Tom and Petey, their"oops baby".
