Ah, Mothers, Part 6

Mother: “Oh, I think she’ll be fine after a while. See, she’s been upset since we moved here from Chicago.”
Me: “Yeah, that’s difficult for a child sometimes.”
Mother: “But don’t tell her we moved, okay? We told her we were only going on a vacation. She has no idea we’re not going back.”
