and we’ll all be talking about something until it’s time to go home.
Then, when I get home, Mary Elizabeth will call me right away and ask me, “What’s up?”
And I don’t know what to say because the only thing new in my life is my walk home, which isn’t a lot.
But I describe the walk anyway. And then she starts talking, and she doesn’t stop for a long time.
She’s been doing this all week. That and picking lint off my clothes.
At one point two days ago, she was talking about books, and she included a lot of books I had read.
And when I told her that I had read them, she asked me very long questions that were really just her ideas with a question mark put at the end.
The only thing I could say was either “yes” or “no.” There was honestly no room to say anything else.
After that, she started talking about her plans for college, which I had heard before,
so I put down the phone, went to the bathroom, and when I came back, she was still talking.
I know that was the wrong thing to do, but I thought if I didn’t take a break, I would do something even worse.
Like yell or hang up the phone. She also keeps talking about the Billie Holiday record she bought for me.
