Conversations With My Mother #1
7:37 a.m.
Mom: Do you want to go to Cancun?
Me: What?
Mom: You know, get a job, stay there, finish your novel.
Me: What?
Mom: I wonder how hard it would be for you to get a work visa.
Me: Oh. I…
10:04 a.m.
Mom: I just think it would be nice to get a new change of scenery. New environment. Would you like to go to Mexico City or Cuernavaca…?
Me: Are you thinking of sending me to—? I’m… not sure. I have student loans. I wish I could…I would go to Isla Mujeres, it’s been my dream to live there and…write. But, Mexico City! I would love to go there. Actually, I was thinking about moving to New York. Or even San Francisco. But, definitely, leaving. Yes.
Mom: Oh. (To my dad) She has student loans.
12:22 p.m.
Me: Mom, I think I would like to go live in Mexico. Instead. For two months. Screw it.
Mom: No! Don’t go!
