Today's OneWord: Opportune
"That was not the opportune time to jump in," Mom scolded me, or at least tried to. I was ready to put on my headphones and cancel her voice out with System of a Down.
"Please. He was eating you alive. I wanted to help."
"I am not a damsel in distress," retorted my mom. "I can handle your father better than you can imagine. I've known him for thirty years..."
"And here you are, letting him walk all over you."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my mother raise her hand as if to slap me. But she didn't. She never hit people, especially not me.
