The Great Injustice That Is Happening to Me     Okay, in the Grand Scheme of Things, as my favorite history teacher, Mr. Nordstrom, likes to say, maybe it’s not a great injustice.   Or as my dad likes to remind me, “Do you know how many kids would kill to be in your situation?”   Because this is really just about a closet.   Which wouldn’t be such a big deal, except it’s where I sleep.   So, yes, there are kids much worse off than I am, and I totally get that. But for a normal thirteen-year-old kid living in Brooklyn, what happened to me is, I think anyone would agree, a pretty big miscarriage of justice. Not like being enslaved, or made to feel like a second-class citizen or anything . . . Well, that’s not true. I do feel like a second-class citizen. At least in my family nest.   We live in what is referred to as a two-bedroom apartment, since there are two bedrooms.   Which seems like a stupid detail but is actually a major part of this story.   Because I have an older brother and a set of parents (one of each sex--I only mention this because my friend Kyle has two moms and I want to be fair), that means two bedrooms for four people.   Now, in a typical family, I would share the bedroom with Jake (that’s my brother’s name), but since we’re six years apart, it was decided when I was a whining little kid that me being in there would be a distraction from Jake studying.   And then he was a teenager, and then it was really important that he have his own room because, well, “You’ll understand when you’re older.”   Well, I am older now, and a brand-new teenager myself, and nobody is saying I need to have my own room.   Okay, I do have a room.   Kind of.   Once I was too old to stay in my parents’ room, they took the closet near the front door and turned it into a room.   I mean, it’s a nice closet, as closets go, with a sliding door and shelves and room for a small futon. So that’s my room.   And please do not make any Harry Potter jokes, because I’ve heard
