Family Snapshots

My family is sitting in the car on our way back from a family friend party. My siblings and I are in the backseat discussing our dreams. My little brother tells one of his particularly horrifying ones. "There was this one where I was on this small green island. And I looked down, and next to my feet were these words. They spelled Africa. And I was like 'NOOOOOOOUUUU!'"

My sister, while eating oranges. "Oh! My tooth fell out! I almost ate it because I thought that it was a seed!"

My father, moves the wine glass away from me. "This one's for mom."

My mother, after S visited. "He was such a sweet boy, he made his bed"
"Uh, his own bed?"
"No he made your brother's bed!"

Five days until I'm back at Harvard.
