I had one of those wonderful day-dreams where everything is right. My dad worked a 9 to 5 job at the office, and watched football on tv. My mum was a good housewife, and could cook, and had a women's interest meeting every thursday night. My older brothers had both graduated from college, and were happily living on their own dating attractive young women, and my older sister was married to a wonderful guy, with a cute cottage in the country. I had ordinary friends, and I babysat for extra money.
My life was blissfully normal.
But then, the bubble popped, and I realized that I was standing ankle-deep in laundry that had to be done by tomorrow, and I hadn't done my homework yet, and dad was clunking around upstairs, most likely drunk. My sister was on the phone with my mother, crying about how her husband was always at work, and my brothers were conspicuously absent.
Don't you just love daydreams?
