the last book I ever read (Weather: A Novel by Jenny Offill, excerpt two)

from Weather: A Novel by Jenny Offill:

A few days later, I yelled at him for losing his new lunch box, and he turned to me and said, Are you sure you’re my mother? Sometimes you don’t seem like a good person.

He was just a kid, so I let it go. And now, years later, I probably only think of it, I don’t know, once or twice a day.
