A Random Lament


Jordan, The Persistent

She plops down on the sofa next to me and sighs.

– When are we going to the store to buy my tea?

– When you clean your room.

– Oh!

She groans and heaves another sigh.

– You always want me to clean my room.

– If you didn’t mess it up, we wouldn’t ask you to clean it.

– But I want to get that tea. I love that tea.

– And I want you to clean your room.

She shakes her head and flaps her hand in the air.

– We have two problems, she says philosophically.

Jeanette lifts her book closer to her face in order to hide the laughter.

    thank you for giving us all a glimpse of your lives. Jordan sounds like an extraordinary young lady…

    even though she’s sick, she still has to clean her room???
