Little by little, I got better at cleaning Her house—good enough to be given more to do, much more.
''I was ordered to carry bookcases upstairs and, once, to move a piano from one side of a room to the other.''
And after pushing the piano my arms and legs hurt so badly. I wanted to refuse, or at least to complain, but I was afraid She would fire me
I had trouble summoning the courage to discuss or object to the increasing demands She made. And I knew that if I told my mother how unhappy I was she would tell me to quit.
I asked Jeff when I could do something different. “Do you know why you’re still doing dishes?” he asked. “Because you keep complaining about it.” Nobody likes to work with a complainer, he said. But, he promised, if I continued to leave a clean station and not complain, next week he would put me on the “make table,” where pizzas were assembled before being put into the oven.
He opened a drawer and took out an overnight envelope. He told me to stop what I was doing, leave work and send the application immediately. I protested about the expense of overnight postage, but he said he would cover it.
Though my mom worked hard to take care of my siblings and me, there just was no room in the budget to send me on a college Jeff surprised me with an early graduation present: a trip to Boston. He paid for the hotel, the car and the plane tickets.
