Her silver cobweb hair brushes my upper arm as she stretches forward, pressing one wrinkled finger on the button.

This the first time I sleep on clean sheets in weeks. Plenty perks come with living with Granma. For dinner, Granma got steam sausage and rice. I don’t have to warm up no Chef Boyardee. Granma got Rich Tea cookies to dip in Milo. I ain’t eat this good since I come back to Long Island.

– It’s been two hours since it started and it’s still only the beginning.
