DAY 16

DAY 17

“Hey, mini me!” Annabella called out from my front porch, where they were drinking tea with Mom after school on Wednesday. I cut across the lawn and joined the two of them.

“Hey, hon!” Mom ruffled my hair as I reached for the plate of cookies.

“You guys having a tea party?” I joked.

“Nah, just gossiping,” Mom said.

“Anything good?”

“Well, the Acostas seem to be getting quotes on a new roof,” Mom told me.

“And Marta from around the corner neglected to pick up her dog’s poop. Again,” Annabella added.

I laughed, thinking of all the hours I’d spent on the porch over the past several years talking to Annabella. Unlike their conversations with Mom, we didn’t talk about our neighbors and dog poop. Instead, we mostly chatted about how it feels to be nonbinary—the challenges, the general awesomeness. Our gender journeys, as Annabella liked to call them, had been similar, except for two major differences, which were that when Annabella had been a kid, they hadn’t fully understood their gender, and they’d had to keep their identity a secret. Over the years, they’d told me a lot about a summer camp for queer kids where they’d worked, and how helping kids be themselves had also helped them.

“You guys are so weird,” I told Mom and Annabella, knowing they’d both take it as a compliment, as I grabbed another cookie off the plate.

“Thank you,” they replied in unison.
