I`m not a baby! Willow. Mom put a hand on your arm, but you threw it off, knocking over the cup and sending Coke all over the place. I`m not! Mom grabbed a stack of napkins and started mopping. I`m sorry, she said to the waitress. Now that--the waitress nodded--looks more like three. A bell rang, and she left to go back in the kitchen. Willow, you know better, my mother said. You can`t get angry at someone because she didn`t know you have OI. Why not? I asked. You are. My mother`s jaw dropped. Recovering, she grabbed her purse and jacket and stood up. We`re leaving, she announced, and she yanked you out of your chair. At the last minute she remembered the drinks and slapped a ten-dollar bill on the table. Then she carried you out to the car, with me trailing behind. We went to McDonald`s on the way home after all, but instead of making me feel satisfied, it made me want to disappear underneath the tires, the pavement, all of it.
