I do remember the arguments
My teenage son
Wanting to wear inappropriate shoes
To my daughter’s wedding
Something about
The immovable object
And the unstoppable force
Comes to mind
I think you thought me ridiculous
Childlike even
I think you thought me useless
Entirely lacking in negotiation skills
I don’t know that you know
How much you hurt me
How important it was for me
For the big day to go smoothly
Did I ever tell you
How I was watched throughout that day
In an attempt to keep me sober
With no mind to my anger or my disappointment
