Day One: Not So Quite on the Northern Front

After following what I believed to be the correct course of actions for my first day at my parents house I arrive home from work to get into an argument. My friends seem to be little shards of glass stuck under the fingernails of my mom. I understand she is one to protect her own but they do me no harm.

I do not understand how to extinguish this fire that is fuel from stupid situations in high school. People change, opinions should not be so stagnate.
