Selected Excerpt
MOTHER
At night he’s so quick, like a jack rabbit. I think it’s nice that he just gets it done. He doesn’t muck around with a lot of wet stuff like in those silly movies. He’s efficient. Sometimes I don’t even notice. I go right on eating chocolates or reading my ladies home journal and boom he’s all done. Zipped up and asleep. He makes noises like a kitten while he sleeps. It hurts my ears. So, a lot of times while he’s sleeping I’ll pinch him hard under the armpit. Pinch and twist. And he’ll stop making those noises. We’ve been married for thirty seven years. I always said I’d marry a man named Harold and I just went right ahead and did.
