three, five
Before I left to come back to school Daddy told me this is growing-up time. He meant for me but maybe for everyone. Ronald thank you for bringing my glasses because I went to my bedroom and fetched them out from under my elephant pillow and came downstairs and gave them to Daddy to keep safe. He's been looking for them for years you know. I think he suspected I had them but he never said as much.
It was right before I turned ten that I saw Mummy leave us. She went out with a bang, just like she wanted. Exploding potions can accomplish all sorts of things. Anyway that was a tuesday and ever since I've not liked tuesdays much. But after that I found Mummy's glasses in the kitchen planter and tried them on and Daddy was cross and apple red and he would pull them right off my nose and go hide them away. But I always found them. I was better at finding than he was at hiding.
So things are very blue now, moreso for others than me. I never thought I'd see the list of people I miss number more than one. I never even knew George and Charlie, not very, but I knew the idea of them. They were a good idea and there really aren't enough of those in this world, or that's what I'm learning at least.

I'm sorry your dad didn't want you to wear your mum's glasses. But I guess it's better without them. Not really better. Realer I reckon.

He says a person can't grow up unless they take off their Mummy's glasses. Maybe I will wear them again someday when the growing up is done.
