Brenda she is grown now, we can't make these decision for her, my father Walt says. But Walt why is it that she can't choose to go to a school closer to home. We are getting up in age and I was thinking that now that we have decided to do less traveling we could spend more time as a family.
I role my eyes at this seeing as they have had 18 whole years to consider this and it is just now hitting my mom that they don't know me at all. If I was to interrupt right now and ask what I had for breakfast I doubt they would be able to tell me even though we were all at the same table this morning. However since even though the conversation is about me but I'm not included I continue to read my guide book that I was sent in the mail after receiving my acceptance letter.
Honey I know it's hard but we have to let her make her own decisions, even if it breaks our heart. It's not like we will never see her again.
This here I ignore also, my dad has the habit of trying to pretend he agrees while trying to make someone feel bad enough about their decisions that they might change them. Been there done that too many time growing up, but this decision here is a keeper. I again go back to ignoring them after I give another eye roll.
Shea why do you want to go to school all the way I. Arizona anyway? my mom ask.
Oh am I allowed to be included in the conversation now? I ask them. I thought I was excluded due to the fact that I'm the person being discussed.
