A sister responds...

Lucie told me she read the blog on Sunday. She promised to be better, promised she would keep her promises (that’s a new one) but said nothing about the lying. It went something like this…

Luce: Read your thing.

Me: Yeah…and?

Luce (shrugs): You know.

Me: I’m right, Luce. You know I’m right.

Luce: Maybe.

Me (waiting patiently): And…?

Luce (drinks her coffee and eats her toast): I’ll do things I promised.

Me: Okay.

Luce: I promise.

Me: Okay.

Looooooong pause. Crickets chirp.

Luce: You need a ride somewhere?
