Chapter 11

Deceptions

With our second Halloween in Small Town, U.S.A. just around the corner, Ellie and I were haggling over Bobby’s unfinished costume.

“We’ve got to have a backup. I don’t want what happened last Halloween,” I said to her as I sat on the couch. At the controls of her sewing machine, Ellie was hell bent in turning Bobby into yet another original work of mobile art.

“I’m buying a backup.”

“No, you’re not. He loves my costumes!”

“That they don’t fit?”

“That’s because I never have enough time. It’s always the last minute with you giving me the money for the fabric. What is it with you?”

She was right. It was always the last minute when I’d give her money. But that was because we lived paycheck to paycheck. Even when I made good money with L.A. Unified, we never had enough to save, let alone pay down outstanding debt—not including our student loans.

Those loans.

“He said he wants to be Superman. Why can’t we just buy the costume?” I pleaded.

“I need to make his cape.”

“No, you don’t. The costume includes the cape. It even includes those little booty covers.”

“Well, are you going to buy it?”

“Yeah. When I get paid. At the end of the week.”
