A bang, a clash, and a slow rattle as a pot or pan of some sort hits the floor is what I wake to. It's a different noise every other week, but a loud noise all the same. I think my Mom has finally hit her mid-life crisis. One hobby after the next, none lasting more than a month before she decides, "This just isn't for me, I don't think." And then it's something new. Last week it was bartending. This week it's becoming a master chef. My best guess for next week is that our living room will be turned into a butcher shop.

"It's alright. And, please—just call me Leigh."

I'm not sure where my parents find these people, but the cigarette burns all over the backs of her hands tell me she's probably not used to such a gentle response. I make sure she knows I enjoy the tea she made. I even drink a second cup in case she thought I was faking it. She leaves me be as put on my make-up and dress for the day. I was told I had to wear something suitable for a long and perilous search and rescue mission.
