I’d always done the laundry, I could vacuum, and I’d picked up a lot about cooking from helping Laura and watching our show (even if I mostly watched her).
I managed the groceries.
But on Wednesday, I spilled juice on the floor right in front of the fridge.

Instead, I made a huge mistake: I called Mom.
Laura’s name was at the top.
