Ola and I lie on our backs in the kitchen, scarves and hats everywhere. I look over at the night-light by the table. It’s the only light in the room now. Ola’s eyes are closed, but I don’t think she’s asleep. I have always loved my grandmother, but I know that she is a strange woman. I know that not too many of my friends would spend an evening trying on hats with their grandmothers. A few years ago they would have. Now most of them don’t even admit that they like their grandparents, though they do.
I’m clueless about how to be cool. I’ve always told my friends that I like my grandmother. Since most of them only get a glimpse of who she is by the books and strange things she sends through the mail, I think secretly they think she’s cool. That makes up for me being clueless, I guess.
