florida 2:2
So I drove the kids out to the game reserve to view granny, not their granny, but they didn't know their own, so what harm? Old people can be time-shared. Their obligations die off around them. We found her down in a ditch, photographing a white bird on a gator's back. The lizard could have bitten her foot off at the ankle, but she showed no fear. Did you graduate, she asked me when she'd climbed out. Years ago, I said. I'd dropped out of school for a term, and every time I saw them after that they asked me if I was staying in school, long after I'd made my legitimate escape from the educational system. Now, apparently, I had graduated. Are these your kids? Yes, I said, which made me blush, whether because they weren't really my kids and I was lying to my grandmother, or because I wished they were my kids, I'm not sure. They're charming, she said.
