A Daughter of the Morning #266995

I Found this paper on the cellar shelf. It come around the boys' new overalls. When I was cutting it up in sheets with the butcher knife on the kitchen table, Ma come in, and she says:<br><br>"What you doin' now?"<br><br>The way she says "now" made me feel like I've felt before - mad and ready to fly. So I says it right out, that Id meant to keep a secret. I says:<br><br>"I'm makin' me a book."<br><br>"Book!" she says. "For the receipts you know?" she says, and laughed like she knows how. I hate cooking, and she knows it.
