“When you want a baby, you find a man and he builds something.”
Mary Constallas held court with a small group of neighbourhood girls every day after school. She was an authority because she was older than us (she was seven, we were six) and had an older sister.
“You see, he gets an “erected” and that means to build something.”
Her pronouncements still ring in my ears:
“My mom says she’s “sick and tired” whenever she doesn’t want to cook dinner. When I’m older, I’m going to pick just one.”
Forty years later, her words became a story…
