poliphiloOdi and Peter came to lunch. I threw a macaroni cheese together. Even before I got serious about my cooking I had perfected the art of the cheese sauce.
This was the first time we'd seen them since Odi returned home. Ailz told them they need to talk to one another. I took Fabrizio's disgusting push chair outside and scrubbed it with soap and water and a hard-bristled brush. This is what grandparents do.
Then I sang to him. I'd like him to grow up knowing all the old nursery rhymes and counting songs. They're the key to the culture.
