Gettin Weird Chapter 14.

Back home. 

I walk in and Mom asks, “How was it?” 

“Okay” I say. I don’t feel like talking. 

“Tell me all about it.” Mom says. 

Joey interrupts, “Mom, we’re watching this.” 

I glance at the TV and, for once, I kind of appreciate of Joey’s selfishness. I say to Mom, “I’ll tell you in the morning. I’m really tired.” 

Already staring back at the TV, Mom says, “Okay Sweetie, but every detail, first thing, okay?” 

“Sure,” I say, hurrying up the stairs and already knowing that there are some details that I won’t be mentioning. 

In my room, I pull off my tie and throw it, hard across my bed and into the corner. I tear off of my dress shirt and toss is onto the floor, too.
