Text

Start: Mealtime was much the same as it had always been … Father still talked a blue streak, Mother still mashed her food into a pink soup, … and I still spit everything out into my napkin.

[... … …]

End: “Don’t be ridiculous, dear,” he’d say. But she meant it and would lie there sobbing, “PLEASE . . . DO IT!” It was a ritual we went through every night.
