The people you love
There are the aunts and uncles who are running themselves ragged with unnecessary errands, the hypochondriac grandma who gets knee shots from a quack doctor, the parents who work themselves into the ground to make the dinners and wrap the presents and tend to the relatives, and there’s that one cousin you can rely on to drop everything when you’re in town so he can bullshit with with you for a few hours. It’s not everybody, but it’s enough.
quote
Now, I was at the doctor, and y’inz know me, I was up on the table, and he was lookin’ at my ankle, an he says, ‘Adeline! You have skinny legs!’ Can ya believe that?
