I went back and forth with her about how I had replaced the lightbulbs when they blew, why do I need to buy all new ones? She said they weren’t the same dim yellow ones as when we moved in. So I had to replace all of them. The contract said “leave it like it was when we moved in”.
The landlady was shocked that my mother didn’t fly across the country to babysit while we packed. No, Liz just watched Avatar the Last Airbender totally through three times.
Liz was one when we started going to open houses. She’d shut herself in every closet and yell “bing!” and I’d tell her what floor she was on.
