Zitat: Oates
What pissed me was until just recently my Grandma Riggs was into comparing Lisa and me. “Ursula, dear, when are you going to stop growing?” Like this was a joke, or something I could control by an act of will, which made me hate the Grandma Riggs I used to love.
Why do old people who’ve known you since infancy think they actually know you and can say insulting things?
“I’ll stop growing, Grandma,” I said, trying to keep it pleasant, “when you stop getting older. OK?”
Joyce Carol Oates, Big Mouth & Ugly Girl, Seite 10
