  • Take 1 family of 5 and set them in a living room sized oven.
  • Now turn the heat from 0 to 100, dad starts to get upset.
  • Sprinkle some curse words and here goes mother.
  • Add a teaspoon of smart remarks and guilt trips.
  • My sister’s attitude should rise along with my anxiety. Why can’t we just have one okay night?
  • Take one cup of happy family and put it into a bag.
  • Take a rolling pin and crush it to a fine powder.
  • Throw in some hatred. Not again…dad just sit down. Welp, Sister is gone now.
  • Take a handful of stairs. Run up them once.
  • 3 cups of tears shed that night.
  • 3 cups of quiet daughters.
  • 2 cups of angry voices that fill the air.
  • When you finish, repeat endlessly.
