Moments Ignored
Ev and Betsy
-That father of yours and the life he’s led. You could strike a
match on his nose!
-He’s a hard one. Bulletproof.
-And yet he bursts into tears at Thanksgiving Dinner!
-What was that all about? I was at the other end of the table.
-He was reciting some stupid children’s poem.
-Which one? Do you remember any of the words?
-I wasn’t listening.
-Is that Old Age? You finally put your heart out there, and
nobody gives a shit?
-All Age.
