I recall this change happening at about the age of eight. At the time what my elders had to say really didn’t have an effect on me. I wasn’t tending to not listen, it was just that I was usually busy doing and thinking about other things, like why my parents had been getting a divorce, or why my cousin felt the need to pick on me all the time, and that led to me getting lost in the television every chance I got. Even to this day it is a family joke that my ‘Abuelo’ Thomas would call for me, “Ardy, could you help me with something?” and I would respond, staring at the television as if to be hypnotized, “Bueno, Abuelito.” I would never come to his aid. I would just somehow forget and get lost in the television again.

I did not even really listen while I was sitting there. I could usually be lost in the fire, like the television, throwing twigs and leaves in the fire while everyone else were talking. I did this till I was about twelve. Around that time I started to get bored and I preferred again to isolate myself during these functions, to go grab a plate of food and to turn on the television. This usually annoyed some of my family members especially my mother and abuelo. I didn’t really notice it until my mom brought it up and started trying to encourage me to go join everyone but I always declined. She and everyone else eventually gave up and let me be. |
