You never do anything right!” My son didn’t say a word. He just turned the TV on and pretended the walls were soundproof. Five minutes later, a crash shook the whole kitchen, and when he finally ran in and saw what I was doing with the pot still on the stove, his face went as pale as the tiled wall behind me, his hand trembling as he whispered my name in that cramped little kitchen in the middle of America that night.

While I was quietly on vacation in Colorado, my daughter sold the penthouse in my name to plug her husband’s money problems, laughed that I’d have nowhere to live now, and never once suspected that the “little place” they rushed to sell was actually the least important property in the quiet, carefully planned portfolio I’d been building for years.

When he came back to my place looking for the money, all he found was a locked door and an envelope that left him stunned.
