Dann lächelte sie ihn an, und er stand sofort auf, egal, wo wir gerade saßen, ging in sein Zimmer und machte leise die Tür hinter sich zu. Ich sehe ihn in jedem Raum in unserem Haus aufstehen und gehen, als hätte meine Mutter ständig nur diese Geburtsgeschichte erzählt, dabei hat sie das höchstens drei Mal getan, aber in meiner Erinnerung verließ er die Küche, das Wohnzimmer, das Bad, mein Zimmer und den Rasen im Vorgarten, wo Mom aus irgendeinem Anlass mit mir saß – Haarewaschen, Hausaufgaben, Hochzeitsalbum angucken –, und immer ging er wortlos weg.

I had a memory of him passing through every room in the house this way, as if all my mother did was retell his birth story, over and over and over again. In truth, she probably only told it a few times, but in my memory replay, I could picture him passing through the kitchen, the TV room, the bathroom, my bedroom, and the front lawn, Mom sitting with me for some reason—hair, homework, wedding album—him walking straight through without a response.
