I think Its Real This Time

Its no secret when I say that my parents are splitting up. I mean it has happened a lot over the time. Second families and second marriages and annulment are not foreign in our family. (And I think its an in thing in the society right now, I can already visualize the "irreconcilable differences" excuse my parents might use.)

I came home a little later than usual. I was too busy laughing with my business communications professor, we were laughing about "coming" and the five words "please, don't, stop, faster, harder." There is a very nice and funny story behind that which I will leave for later. So I came home, as I was eating dinner, I heard my dad screaming, then as I tried harder to listen--- my mother whispering... (maybe scream isn't the right term, more like yelling.) My dinner alone routine while my sister was watching, was carried out in silence. We were talking about trivial things. As if we were not hearing anything.

Its happening again. Why? I think this time I wouldn't be able to come up with an excuse to help them from breaking up like teenagers. I wouldn't be able to pout, make my eyes look round as a kitten and tell them I am a kid and I'm happy my family is not broken. Its real this time. Its happening.

Just letting you in on my family's problems. You guys take care.
