Lizabeth calls to tell us that she is in bed for the night. Biddy frets that Lizabeth might fall or sumpin’. So she don’t get easy till after that phone ring.

When she hanged up, I said, “You worry ’bout that ole lady too much.”

“Don’t you worry ’bout who I worry ’bout,” Biddy say.

Woo, that girl nothing like the one used to cry all the time in school.

“I don’t see you worryin’ ’bout your ole granny,” I say.

Biddy thump down on the couch and get puzzled in her face.

“You don’t never call her or go see her,” I say.

“She don’t got no phone,” Biddy say.

“Is it ’cause she was mean to you?”

Biddy sigh. “I thought that’s just how it was. Didn’t know much different. I know teachers was nice. But Granny said they was paid to be nice.”

“So why don’t you never go see her?”

Biddy studied me. It was like she couldn’t figure out why I didn’t understand something so easy.

“Because I live here now,” she said.
