my cousin called yesterday to wish my brother a happy birthday but didn't realize he had the wrong day. before i handed the phone over, we chatted for a few minutes. seems like the only time we talk is around christmas, new years or birthdays.
me: so how is the family? how's candy doing?
cuz: you mean, cookie?
me: my bad.
cuz: she's doing okay, she's in atlanta now.
me: why is that?
cuz: (brief silence) we've been divorced for three years.
me: (fumbles for words) i'm sorry, i had no idea.
(i look over at my dad and give him the evil eye for not telling me)
cuz: it's okay, i don't think i ever told you.
well, i woke up this morning and remembered our conversation from two years ago about the divorce.
i hope this was just a case of selective memory.
