McKenzie, Daddy, and I make quick work of the messy backyard before moving in to the disastrous living room. At almost 8pm, I watch my Daddy grab up his keys and mumble about heading to the grocery store to get some supplies for dinner since none of us remembered to eat anything. I'm just tying up another of the dozens of garbage bags when I feel McKenzie staring at me, questions burning in her eyes a second before she blushes to the roots of her hair.

"We went to see my Mother, again." I say as I toss the garbage bag toward the front door with the others. I shake open a blue recycling garbage bag and walk toward the table piled high with beer or soda cans. "She told me that she never wanted me and said that her biggest regret in life was having me." I explain emotionlessly as my best friend sweeps the table's contents into the bag I'm holding. "She also confessed to a shit ton of abortions before and after my birth."
