lovely, just lovely

my parents are idiots. my mother says my father is blackmailing her. my father says he doesn't want to be swayed by her moods. we get to hear about it. even me, and the issues don't even involve me. see, mom is getting married to an american, and my dad doesn't want to give permission to take the other kids across the border. mom says every important issue is completely taken care of. he disagrees. she says how wonderful her fiance is. i wonder if he knows what he's getting into. i'm staying here anyhow, it's not my issue. but it is, cuz they talk to everyone and expect me to take part just the same. i'm running away. kris, about that hitchhiking plan of ours?
