At Thanksgiving, Grandpa Asked, “Why Pay Them Rent to Live Here?” Then I… Cottonwood Revenge.

My grandfather stopped eating mid bite. He stared across the dining room table, his eyes locking onto me with a sharpness that demanded an immediate answer. Wait a minute. You pay your parents rent to live here. I froze with the wine bottle still hovering over my sister glass. Before I could answer him, my father waved his hand dismissively through the air, completely unbothered. Your sister has two kids, Maya. She needs the help more than you do. The entire table went completely silent. My grandfather slowly set down his silver fork. The heavy clink of the metal against his porcelain plate echoed in the quiet room. Nobody sitting there expected what he was going to say next.
