“Your mom lied to me,”
my husband says, in disbelief. “Right to my face.” She told him she would take
her insulin and meds. She told him she had
taken her insulin and meds. But when the nurse finally pressed her on it, she
had to admit she’d done neither. “Welcome to my childhood,” I say.
I was relating to all this - with my mother in her last years, and my mother-in-law at the moment. But that last line slayed me.
