MY PARENTS PUBLICLY EMBARRASSED ME AT MY SISTER’S GRADUATION….

My mother raised her glass.

“We’re here today,” she began, “to celebrate Elena.”

Applause rippled through the room. My mother waited for it to fade because she knew how to time attention like a conductor.

“Elena has worked so hard,” she continued. “She’s always been so focused, so disciplined, so driven. From the moment she was little, we knew she was special.”
