Hello |
|
|
Hi meg |
Here's your paper |
|
|
Okay |
All right- I lied! I lied! I couldn't help it... these stories just came pouring out of my mouth! When I saw how tired and sick old granddaddy'd gotten- they just flew out! All I wanted was to see him smiling and happy. I just wasn't going to sit there and look at him all miserable and sick and sad! I just wasn't! |
|
|
Oh Meg, he is sick, isn't he- |
Why, he's gotten all white and milky- he's almost evaporated! |
|
|
It just was wrong for you to tell such lies |
Well I know that! Don't you think I know that? I hate myself when I lie for that old man. I do. I feel so weak. And then I have to go and do at least three of four things that I know he'd despise just to get even with that miserable old bossy man! |
|
|
That's all he wanted. |
Well I guess it was, but sometimes I wonder what we wanted. |
|
|
Look, here's a picture of me when I got married. |
Let's see. |
|
|
I was just eighteen |
You're smiling babe. Were you happy then? |
|
|
Yes you are, you're beautiful. |
Oh stop! I'm not- |
|
|
Oh, meg- |
I'm not- |
|
|
Why, it's daddy. |
Where'd you get that picture, babe? I thought she burned them all. |
|
|
Well, will you look at that smile |
Jesus, those white teeth- turn the page, will you, we can't do any worse than this! |
|
|
She wouldn't have gotten all that national coverage. |
Why are we talking about this? |
|
|
We used up one whole big box of kleenexes. |
And then old granddaddy came in and said he was gonna take us out to breakfast. Remember, he told us not to cry anymore 'cause he was gonna take us out to get banana splits for breakfast. |
|
|
Banana splits for breakfast |
Why Lenny was fourteen years old, and he thought that would make it all better- |
|
|
He kept shoving them down us |
God we were so sick! |
|
|
Oh we were |
Lenny's face turned green |
|
|
Oh she was! |
The thing about old granddaddy is he keeps trying to make us happy and we end up getting stomachaches and turning green and throwing up in the flower arrangements |
|
|
Oh Lenny! Oh meg! |
Oh babe! Oh Lenny! It's so good to be home! |
