Ravings of the Invisible

I had a cell phone. technically, I have a cell phone. however, my father has decreed that it be taken back tomorrow because he wasn’t “involved” in the decision. never mind that he has shown no interest in how the money is spent, only in observing that too much is—no matter how little actually gets spent by my mother and I. even if he spends 90% of what‑s left after paying bills, we spent too much.

I was happy.
