Mom carved the Thanksgiving turkey and smiled at me coldly.
“Thanks to your miscarriage, our family line remains pure.”
Relatives burst into laughter as my sister patted her son’s head, saying,
“One real grandchild is enough, don’t you think?”
Dad added,

Aunt laughed.

“Miscarriages happen for a reason.”
My sister smirked.
“Maybe now you’ll stop trying to compete with me.”
