Porte-poisse
Ma mère a lu dans le journal : " Les filles de seize ans qui abusent du sport risquent de voir leur sexualité très handicapée. " Elle me harcèle donc pour que je m'exerce au tennis, et au hockey, au golf, et aux boules, et même au basket-ball ! Je lui dis toujours non. Mais elle me sermonne : " Faire l'amour c'est très sérieux. Les sentiments tiennent leur place, on peut parfois se faire du mal. " Je lui demande innocemment : " C'est donc pour ça que jamais plus tu ne fais l'amour ? " Grace lève les yeux, intéressée. Maman laisse tomber. Me prend-elle pour une gourde ? Bien sûr que l'amour c'est du sérieux. Malgré les allusions déplacées de ma mère, Charlie et moi on ne fait pas l'amour.
