Banned

I stood in the doorway watching my mom bake brownies on the day she told me she and my dad were getting divorced. I don’t eat chocolate now.

I quit wearing my pink and gray stripped shirt because I was wearing it when I broke up with my first boyfriend.

I threw and broke my Starbuck’s cup because I was angry at my dad’s girlfriend.

Numerous inanimate objects have been blamed and banned from my life for bad things that happened.

I hope I’m never in a car accident
