Recently my daughter, who will soon be graduating from high school, applied to become a peer counselor in her school, giving guidance to entering freshmen. She was asked to name her strengths and weaknesses. “My weakness,” she wrote, “is that I am a sloth.” She described the lazy sloth, munching mangoes in its tree. It only comes down once a week to go to the bathroom.

That, of course, is not my child at all, but we laughed over the description. My life is another minefield now, different from the one I grew up with—one of dirty laundry I must tiptoe over, a parrot who tosses her food on the floor, a kitchen of dishes in the sink. The signs of people eating, sleeping, in a hurry, with too many things to do and not enough time to do it all. I revel in the mess. One day soon my house will be neat again, and oh how I will miss it.
