It Was Me
Poor Maxzyne is an only child, so it's always going to be her fault. This was not the case in my childhood. There's something about having four siblings under one roof. For instance, if something was ever amiss, there was a one-in-four chance you might squeak out of it. "Who left just one tablespoon of ice cream in a corner of the carton in the freezer?" my father would bark, hopes dashed for his favorite evening snack. Silence. Of course, it might depend on the flavor. If chocolate, a chocaholic middle sister would be suspect. If the Cap'n Crunch cereal box was nearly empty, it was probably me. Potato chips? Oreos? Nobody wanted to be the one to actually take the last bite, but it ruined the grocery list if Mom didn't know something was gone. Still, it was always a relief to hear someone else say, "It was me."
Book Excerpt
Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre
The policeman gives her a curt nod. “Yes, I believe you are right. He didn’t mean to make a getaway necessarily.” He turns back to Maxzyne, one eyebrow raised. “I believe that was you.”
She cringes, afraid to look at her father. “Yes, sir. It was me.”
