Chapter 10 / 28
Chapter 10 - MIA’S MEMORYMia was interviewed by a child specialist.
Not by me.
I learned quickly not to ask:
“What did Daddy do?”
“What did Kelsey say?”
“Did Daddy tell her to hit me?”
Those were adult questions.
Mia described what she remembered.
“Kelsey had the big spoon.”
“What did your dad do?”
“He moved.”
“Where?”
“Near the table.”
“Did he say anything?”
“No.”
“Did he tell Kelsey to hurt your mom?”
“No.”
“Did he tell her to stop?”
“No.”
“What did he do?”
Mia thought.
Then:
“He made his mean smile.”
That was her phrase.
Not mine.
“What is a mean smile?”
“The one where he thinks Mommy is losing.”

That sentence hurt more than the bruise.
Children had been watching our marriage before I understood what we had been showing them.
