So the other day the doorbell rings and its two little girls. One starts in awkwardly and a little disjointedly about how she’s raising money for something. “Are you selling something?” I ask. No, she says, kinda twisting around, she’s raising pledge money so she can do a run for a good cause. What good cause? I don’t know for goodness sake, there’s some poor little kid at my door who can barely look at me but gosh darnit she’s knocking on doors for whatever it is. I get some money out of my purse and sign my name to the form. She takes the money and I say, “Thanks for doing something good!”
Her sister, a little older, finally gets her chance to speak. “I know you!” she says. “You bought from me before!”
I think back and oh, yes, now I remember.
Does you mother know you’re here? I want to ask
