Me:

Forget I asked.

Mom:

Lisa Perez. Financial crime lawyer. She’s the best there is. I’ll send you her contact details.

Me:

Thank you.

Mom:

I can’t make any of your games before Christmas.

Me:

That’s okay.

Mom:

Sienna and her parents are joining us for Christmas dinner.

Me:

Why the hell would you invite them?

Mom:

We went to theirs last year. It was only right to invite them to ours this year.

Me:

We’re not dating anymore, Mom.

Mom:

It’s just a phase Sienna is going through, dear. You’ll be back together soon enough. I’m sure of it.

Fuck my life.

Me:

Not happening. I've moved on.

Mom:

See you on Christmas Day. Love you.

Me:

Please tell me you swapped your shifts on Christmas Day?
