Then there was the time I went to a dude ranch and I was riding a horse and I lassoed a car. The lady driving the car got out and spanked me. And your grandmother spanked me, too.

EURYDICE

Remember the Christmas when she gave me a doll and I said, “If I see one more doll I’m going to throw up”?

FATHER

I think Grammy was a little surprised when you said that.

EURYDICE

Tell me a story about your mother.

FATHER

The most vivid recollection I have of Mother was seeing her at parties and in the house playing piano. When she was younger she was extremely animated. She could really play the piano. She could play everything by ear. They called her Flaming Sally.

EURYDICE

I never saw Grammy play the piano.

FATHER

She was never the same after my father died. My father was a very gentle man.

EURYDICE

Tell me a story about your father.

FATHER

My father and I used to duck hunt. He would call up old Frank the night before and ask, “Where are the ducks moving tonight?” Frank was a guide and a farmer. Old Frank, he could really call the ducks. It was hard for me to kill the poor little ducks, but you get caught up in the fervor of it. You’d get as many as ten ducks.
