The Line: "Papa, I am four almost. And after this I will be six and after that I will be ten and when I become fifteen I'll drive and I will drive so fast and then I will be twenty. Then I will have one leg. Old people only have one leg and then I will be dead, Papa, and you will come and save me. I will be in a pond" (69-70).

In one story, the
narrator gets covered in
horse blood. My fave, natch!
 
Comments:
the temperature of the room right now is making me realize that i want a college degree...
 
Do you think if I call that number for maybe only six hours a day that I will still get a BETTER FEELING of joy? I sure hope so. Ring Ring!
 
i think the best you can hope for is an ADEQUATE feeling of joy.
