Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (

)
in
the
closet
(

锛熲�?/p>
Jessica
asked.
鈥?/p>
A
skeleton
in
the
closet?
鈥?/p>
her
mother
paused
thoughtfully,
鈥?/p>
Well,
it
鈥?/p>
s
something
that
you
would
rather
not
have
anyone
else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad
鈥?/p>
s family had been
arrested for stealing a
horse,
it would be
鈥?/p>
a
skeleton in his family
鈥?/p>
s closet
鈥?/p>
.
He really
wouldn鈥?/p>
t want any neighbor to know about it.
鈥?/p>
鈥?/p>
Why pick on my family?
鈥?/p>
Jessica
鈥?/p>
s father said with anger.
鈥?/p>
Your family
history
isn
鈥?/p>
t
so
good,
you
know.
Wasn
鈥?/p>
t
you
great
鈥?/p>
great
grandfather
a
prisoner
who
was
transported
to
Australia
for
his
crimes?
鈥?/p>
鈥?/p>
Yes,
but
people
these
days
say
that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.
鈥?/p>
鈥?/p>
Gosh,
sorry
I
asked.
I
think
I
understand
now,
鈥?/p>
Jessica
cut
in
before
things
grew
worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica
鈥?/p>
s parents were still quite
angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she
glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she
finished,
she
gathered
the
freshly
pressed
clothes in
her
arms and
walked to
Jessica
鈥?/p>
s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a
bony
arm
stuck
out
from
the
dark
depths
and
a
bundle
of
white
bones
fell
to
the
floor.
Jessica
鈥?/p>
s mother sank into a faint (
鏅曞�?/p>
), waking only when Jessica put a cold,
wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband
and daughter.
鈥淲hat
happened? Where am I?
鈥?/p>
she asked.
鈥?/p>
You just destroyed the school
鈥?/p>
s
skeleton, Mum,
鈥?/p>
explained Jessica.
鈥淚
brought it home to help me with my health
project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons
and
closets,
it
caused
a
problem
between
you
and
Dad.
鈥?/p>
Jessica
looked
in
amazement
as her parents began to laugh madly.
鈥?/p>
They
鈥?/p>
re both crazy,
鈥?/p>
she thought.
