"It's spring and summertime.
Blossoming flowers along my jogging route.
Cherry blossom trees too."
"That's nice. We have a cherry blossom tree
at school as well."
"The flowers weren't blossoming last time I went jogging.
The cherry blossoms are only pretty for a couple of days.
The trees down there look so dead all the time.
They weren't dead last year when we moved here."
I wondered if I ought to take off my earpiece.
"Yes. I agree."
"Your father ought to stop buying junk."
"Yes, he ought to."
"Has your mother always been skinny?"
I nod and stir the same old *** of instant noodles.
I like my parents just the way they are.
Curiouser and curiouser.
