she was her mothers executor

                                walked into her mothers bedroom and found her niece and her aunts on her mothers side going through her mothers jewelry

What are you doing?

her niece  I was showing my aunts Gram's jewelry.

I see that. Why?

   Well, her jewelry is going to be dispers . .

. . Not by you.

                No.

But I thought . .

. . You thought.   What?

she bit her lip

What?

   You don’t think. This is my mother’s jewelry and she has shared with me who gets what. Your aunts aren’t getting anything, they weren’t named, and I take distinct offense you brought them into her bedroom in her home with the intention that they were welcome to pick and choose what they want.

They get nothing.

she sat on the bed with her aunts  said nothing

Go.

her niece cleared her throat Gram . .

they were discussing education

                                   he told her it wasnt until after college that he heard about it and maybe had he been informedhad learned of it while in college he would have stayed in the curriculum to become a teacher

though curriculum had been its deathknell

dropped that first course

the Registrar reimbursed him for it and all his textbooks a considerable amount of money

took that money and invested it in a buddys startup business

                                                                   Apogee handcrafted bongs

they made a killin

I didnt know you taught at a Montessori

Yes. It was held in a church basement.

Generous of the church

Not so.

How do you mean

Some of the children were disabled. Disabled by polio. Walked with the aid of leg braces, some on crutches. Down stairs.

Down  Stairs
