A few years ago, she did a certain kind of work.
Night work, she called it.
But she says she can't do it anymore.
It makes her feel bad inside, even though it paid well.
Seems like no matter what job she gets, eventually someone gets mad at her and she quits or gets fired.
We don't have much money.
I know that too.
That's why my clothes are getting worn out.
I've needed new shoes for at least a month, but I don't mention it.
Mom already knows.
I've seen her pick up my sneakers, pry at the place where the soul is separating, and sigh.
This isn't the first time things have been hard, though, and I'm sure it won't be the last.
Like I said before, time is strange, and I had a way of circling back around again.
Sometimes, at night, I asked Mom to tell me about where she lived when she was an important person.
She'll lay next to me in bed, stroking my hair and smile like that part of her life holds all her favorite memories.
She'll talk about the giant house with all the servants, people to cook and serve you food, to wash your clothes, to clean, tend to the garden, the horses.
She had a bell in her room.
She could ring it and a servant would come running to see what she wanted.
She talks about the staircase, so wide you could fit six people shoulder to shoulder across it.
And her bedroom with the four-post bed and the thin curtains hanging from it.
