The Long Haul

Rebecca Maya Parker
My brother rode in the wagon. I pulled him on a tricycle covered in streamers. Our picture was printed in
our town newspaper. When this picture was taken my parents were still married, my brother was shorter
than I am, and the most important thing on both our minds was who got the most lollipops. Sorry, Josh. You
can have some of my lollipops. Is it too late?
