She’s Normal

– Jess bustling along to leave rehab – Let’s GO Dad! –

Jess has had me in stitches today recounting the sayings and foibles of her fellow inmates in rehab. This one said this, that one always says that; this one does that, that one looks like this, etc. She is slow to join conversations, a good listener, a keen observer and has great recall, my Jess.

You crack me up Jess. You guys are a bunch of weirdos. And that includes you!

‘Hmph,’ she huffs, ‘I was the normal one there.’

Jess! You stole my line! I always say that!
