PERDER LOS NERVIOS

LOSE ONE'S NERVES

It's the umpteenth time he's torn the sheet and he wants me to fix it… fix it, says Jaime, and he comes with the tape and the scissors. I got angry with him, I lost my temper and I scolded him… he got very angry, says Jaime.


At the time, you don't reason, and then when you realize it, you regret it. Deep down, it doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong, or whether there are excuses that justify you, you know it's not worth it, there are things you do wrong and that you should change.


…happy, says Jaime, showing a forced smile. It's late and he's decided to go to bed, he wants this to end, tomorrow dad will have forgotten and everything will be over. He also puts up with the rest of us, but without losing his temper.
