The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Menorahs, Presents and Palm Trees - December Holiday Stories

So I just finished my first semester of college and I have a big bag of laundry and I come through the door of the house and things aren't looking too good for me and my mom. The first thing I notice is that the piano's gone. She had that ever since she was a little girl and took piano lessons. We always put the nativity on top of it around Christmas time.

I took piano lessons for two weeks, but I still took piano lessons on that piano and that's gone. I go through the living room and the only thing that's left is just one couch that's with broken springs sticking out of it. There are two televisions, one on top of the other. One has picture that works and one has sound that works.

Over in the corner are the impressions still from my dad's lazy boy that has been gone for four years now. And that's the only furniture in the room. I go upstairs. The dining room's empty. There used to be this big, beautiful dining room set with carved chairs and a glass break front and a buffet table. And that's gone. In the kitchen, there's the kitchen set. There's two chairs.

And there's nothing quite as damning as a bedroom without furniture, because you see all the dings and the scratches in the wallpaper, like all the mistakes that can usually be covered up, but you see them all now.

So I, I start to do my laundry and my mom comes home from work and she immediately takes over. It doesn't let me do it myself. And I ended up helping her with it. And she's happy to see me.
