Stuck In The Middle With You: A Memoir Of Parenting In Three Genders - Plot & Excerpts
On his napkin I had drawn a cartoon of our dog Lucy. From Lucy’s mouth came a word balloon, and in the middle of the balloon was a cartoon heart. This of course was ironic, given the fact that the dog loathed all sentient creatures, my sons not least, as mentioned earlier.“I saw your daddy,” said Emma. They were in second grade. “He looks like a girl.”Zach looked at the cartoon dog, then back at Emma. “Can I tell you a secret, Emma?” he said.“Yes.” By this, she didn’t mean that she would keep the secret, only that he could tell it to her. Emma had asked Zach to be the vice president of the Drama Club a few weeks before this, a post that seemed prestigious to Zach at first. Later, he learned that all the Drama Club did was appoint officers. They didn’t actually put on any plays.“My daddy’s turning into a girl,” said Zach.Emma’s eyes flickered. She put down her Ring Ding.“That,” she said, “is the saddest thing I have ever heard.”“It’s okay,” said Zach.
