“That’s so nice of you, Clementine!” Mom said. “To share your artistic talents with your classmates like that.”

“And to share all these valuable resources, too,” my dad said. “Let’s not forget them! And, you”—he turned to point at me—“don’t you forget to get all this stuff back.”

“Now, Bill,” my mom said. “What would be the harm if a few things got lost?”

My mom is the only person in our building who does not enjoy my dad’s decorations. This is because they are plastic—because of fire codes—and plastic is like kryptonite to all-natural people like my mother. She practically has a heart attack if she just hears the word “artificial.” She swept her hand over the tulips we’d pulled out for Lilly, then squeezed her eyes shut as if it hurt to look at them.

My dad threw his hands out over the tulips as if he were showcasing the top prize on a game show. “Are you kidding?” he asked. “Just look at these colors!”

“Exactly,” my mom said. “Look at them! These colors do not exist in nature. How about, if just for once, we had real flowers in the lobby?”
