WHY CAN'T THINGS STAY THE SAME
FOR A WHILE?
The gorilla says nothing, but then he never
talks.Hejust listens.At least that's one thing
that stays the same.
I continue."In the past two years, every
thing has changed. My parents separated.
My father moved to Paris. My best friend,
Justin, moved to Alabama. My parents di
vorced. My mom started dating Max.Then
he asked her to marry him, and for us to
become a family. Now they're engaged.
My favorite teacher, Mr. Cohen, stayed in
the third grade, and I had to go into fourth
grade. And now my feet are getting bigger.
My legs are getting taller. Nothing fits the
same way anymore.
"Say something," I tell the gorilla.
The hairy ape just sits there.
