The girl was always threatening to run away, saying that she’d disown the family. Can you imagine? She was uppity that way. She acted like we were horrible people, as if she was on a shelf above us. Always talking about going to college, like she was better than the rest of us. College this, and college that. Miss High and Mighty - Miss Highfalutin - that’s what we called her. Well, you know what we told her? We told her that she’d never amount to anything.
She finally left us. Not one of us can admit how much we miss her.
