Lawn chairs sprawl
across the yard.
I sit cross-legged,
listening to my
iPod, enjoying the
company of my
dysfunctional, yet strangely
lovable family members,
not noticing my
Bermudas slipping up
above my knee.
"Gave yourself a
little homemade tattoo,
huh, Nanna?" my
aunt Jenny laughs,
pointing to the
jagged red lines.
"Oh. Yeah. Tattooo."
I mutter, pulling
the leg of
my pants down
to hid the
cuts. Already distracted,
my aunt turns
away, leaving me
to my thoughts.
Her ignorance must
be such bliss.
