When I was thirty-three, my mother told me that when she said "I'm tired," she meant something entirely different than I understood. That in her mouth, the word carried the weight of a specific afternoon in 1978 when she watched her own mother fold laundry for three hours without speaking, folding and refolding the same three shirts while outside, the neighbor's dog barked itself hoarse. That when I heard her say "I'm tired" over dishes or during homework help, she was actually saying: I am standing in that room again, watching your grandmother's hands, understanding for the first time that some exhaustion has no translation.
