MY
FAMILY
5
things that might make you suspicious:
- Your
parents using more than one identity
- Finding
out your phone is being tapped
- When
a family member disappears for weeks
on end
- When
you find mouldy cheese in your fridge
- Someone
living in a sandcastle

"My
family is certainly not your average family.
But then whose is? My family consists of
my mother Dorothy, Grampa and Me. At least
that's all I know of.
But
there have been some things bothering me,
niggling in my mind. Perhaps they're family
secrets but maybe I just imagine things.
For
instance my Aunty Mae out West. Now where
does she fit into the picture. I realise
I have an aunty but I've never met her,
know nothing about her and I'm stumped if
I know where "out west" is!!
And
how does the postman find her house? All
letters that Mum sends her are sent to
To:
Aunt Mae
Out West
GRAMPA
Grampa is a funny
old guy. We get along okay but we've never
really talked, if you know what I
mean. He's never talked to me about his
past or his friends and when I asked him
what he used to do for a job he dodged the
question like I dodge the beach.
As
for Dennis... who is Dennis? I have no idea
why Grampa calls Dorothy, "Dennis!"
This is puzzling but then, so is Grampa,
he's definitely a few sandwhiches short
of a picnic! Most Grampas might sit and
watch some sport on tv or go and play bowls
but Grampa likes to knit all day. Yeah so
some people take it up as a hobby but Grampa
is really good!! He even knitted me a cake.
A cake of all things!!
Mum
has never really said much about her past
either. She never mentions my Dad. I figure
they met at college but that the relationship
never really took off. I wonder if I'll
ever find out?
Who is "Big D"?
Grampa and Dorothy have been visiting the
Hell's Bikers and I've heard "Big D"
mentioned. This must have something to do
with their past, before I was born because
I'd know about it otherwise. And what does
the "Big D" have to do with Mrs
Vermont?
