My First Love And Other Disasters - Plot & Excerpts
“I have nothing to wear!” I have to scream because I am buried four feet into the bottom of my closet hunting for some scrap of something to wear out tonight for the big dinner with my parents and the gnome, who unfortunately insisted on coming along even though she hates Italian food, especially since I believe I may have mentioned to her sometime or another that it all has squid and octopus in it—alive! She still practically gags at the thought of Italian food, but no, she wouldn’t stay home tonight. She knows this is when I plan to talk to my parents about the summer and she wants to make as much trouble as she can. This is going to be a tough fight, all uphill, and I have to look just right, kind of sweet/cute but also old/sophisticated, and I can’t find the right dress to wear. It’s got to be a good dress, but not my best in case I have to throw myself dramatically out of my chair and pound the dirty floor in a tantrum. Amazing, I just found a great skirt I haven’t seen since I accused my sister Nina of borrowing it and lending it to one of her friends who I was certain had lost it.
