During Family Breakfast, My Sister Hurled a Hot Frying Pan at My Daughter

“The paramedic wrote down a statement a six-year-old witness made at the scene.”

“Olivia,” I said.

“My sister’s little girl.”

“Yes,” Detective Mitchell said.

“The note says the six-year-old told the emergency crew that her mother threw the iron pan at Emma.”

“That’s what Olivia said,” I answered.

“Where were you when the pan landed on the floor?” Mitchell asked.

“On the upstairs landing, carrying clean tablecloths for my mother,” I said.
