From the other room, I hear the GMX asking the kids "Do you know what
today is?" They answer things like: Monday?, mommy day (that day they
get to see their mother for an hour after work)?, swim day(at
daycare)?... She says "It's my birthday!" kind of cheerful and hurt at
the same time. Then Lexie says dully "Oh, yeah." and GMX replied
"yeah...no big deal...". She sounded very bitter towards Lexie.
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
