My parents have always worried that Id take Amy too personally they always tell not to read too much into her, And yet I cant fail to notice that whenever I screw something up, Amy does it right: When I finally quit violin at age twelve, Amy was revealed as a prodigy in the next book. (Sheesh, violin can be hard work, but handwork is the only way to get better!) When I blew off the junior championship at age sixteen to do a beach weekend with friends, Amy recommitted to the game. (Sheesh, I know its fun to spend time with friends, but Id be letting myself and everyone else down if I didnt show up for the tournament.) This used to drive me mad, but after I wend off to Harvard (and Amy correct those my parents alma mater), I decided it was all too ridiculous to think about. That my parents, two child psychologists, chose this particular public form of passive-aggressiveness toward their child was not just fucked up but also stupid and weird and kind of hilarious.
