I knew this would happen. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.
In case you forgot, I live at home with my parents, because it is a more effective way to save money in order to get the hell out of Iowa.
I was invited to live here, mind you.
Today, I came home from work an hour early because I wasn't feeling well. Mom and Allie were in the kitchen, so I sat down at the table and drank my Sprite, while examining a cd boxed set that had come in the mail. Mom asked why I came home early, and I told her that I felt nauseous and that my head hurt where I had dented it on the car door earlier in the day.
Then suddenly everyone was sitting down at the dinner table, eating, and I was just sitting there, not particularly wanting to eat anything. Just sitting down at the table with my family, reading the booklet that came with the cd set, minding my own business.
Dad asked me if I wanted steak or ham for my sandwich, I told him I'd decide later, and mom told him that I wasn't feeling well. He kept pestering me about what kind of sandwich meat I wanted to eat. I told him I didn't know. Several times.
"Ham or Steak? Make a decision. Ham or Steak?"
I asked sarcastically if I had to make a choice or else I wouldn't get any, because he'd eat all of it. He said yes, and then asked me again if I wanted ham or steak. And again.
I told him, irritably, "I. don't. feel. well."
I was told that if I couldn't be polite that I could go to my room. I tried to explain that I didn't feel well, and I felt like he was badgering me over what I wanted to eat, when I didn't want anything at all.
And he kept telling me to go to my room until I was prepared to act civilized, or something along those lines.
I picked up my stuff from the table, stood up, and marched off to my room, where I am right now.
Sulking.
I'm 30, for Christ's sake, and I've just been sent to my room.
As an aside, I suppose it didn't help my case at all that when I stood up to leave the room, I turned towards him, sneered, and said either, "Screw you," or, "Go screw yourself."
One of those for sure.
I just can't remember precisely which one right now.
What's in your head?
