There Was an Old Lady…

July 31st, 2010 Comments Off on There Was an Old Lady…

Pie, looking closely at my face: Did you know that old people get wrinkles?

Me: They do?

Pie: Yeah. You don’t have wrinkles yet.

Pie puts her hands up on my face. She touches the corners of my eyes.

Pie: But you’re starting to. Right here, by your eyes. You’re starting to get wrinkles.

Me: Oh.

Pie: Oh, I’m serious! You really are! The wrinkles are starting right… here! See? Wrinkles. Starting. Yep, definitely starting.

Uh, thanks?

    I read, I write, I occasionally look to make sure my kids aren't playing with matches.

    My novel, MODERN GIRLS will be coming out from NAL in the spring of 2016.

    I mostly update the writing blog these days, so find me over there.

    More about me and my writing.
