Pam, I said, I love you so much I don’t know what I would have done if I had never met you. How do you play Stanley and Mary Rose? asked my cousin Pam. Like I said, her mother, my Aunt Claudia, is a pain, but as long as I can be with Pam I could put up with a lot worse. There is a swimming pool outside, and a maid inside to do all the dishes. She has her own color TV set, her own phone, and even her own set of dominoes-ivory ones. Her mother is a pain, but her house is great. And since her mother and my grandmother aren’t talking to each other, I’ve been spending lots of time here at her house. Pam and I have tried to be with each other as much as we can. That’s my mother’s mother, and Pam’s father’s mother. Since we moved to New York our family has been staying with my grandmother. All I know is that when I lived in Lincoln and thought that Danielle Rogers, and then last spring that Lori Schubert was the best friend I could ever have, I just didn’t know anything. My grandmother is always saying, Blood is thicker than water, and maybe that is the reason.
Except for Mary Rose, but that is different. I don’t think I ever loved anybody the way I love her.
My cousin, Pam, has the nicest face in the world. How do you play Stanley and Mary Rose? she asked. She looked at it in a worried way, and then picked it up and moved it to the right. She brought her hand down slowly and placed her domino to the right of the three, but then she changed her mind and put it to the left. There was a three on one end and a double zero on the other. My cousin held a domino in her hand, and studied the domino track. We were sitting on the floor of her room playing dominoes. Let’s play Stanley and Mary Rose, I said to my cousin, Pam.
