My mom ordered that my new house had to be big enough for my brother’s family, and my dad secretly put a deposit on a five bedroom place in the suburbs in my name; they rolled up in a whole caravan the day I got the keys, thinking they’d claim the master, the kids’ rooms, even the backyard, but what I bought in silence made them freeze on the porch and blurt, where the hell are we supposed to fit?
