Diane tries to bond with her new Mom....

The kids… stop. Backup.

My brothers had settled down in front of the TV with their pizzas. I sat in the kitchen with Mom. I tried not to be sour about it, but I didn’t care for the show they were watching.

Not because I’m now a girl. Mental changes like that don’t happen overnight, or so I was told. I was actually trying to keep a grip on who I was inside this female shell. And frankly, I never had liked the show they were watching in the first place.
