Once we got to our room, I closed the door and said, “Just give me a chance here, Deaton. This isn’t easy.”

“Get to Daddy,” he insisted.

“It’s not about Daddy,” I said.

“Okay. Queers.”

Deaton climbed up to sit on his bed, so I did too. Malcolm, the teddy bear that had been Loretta’s, then mine, lay on the pillow along with the orange snake I won at the carnival. Cantaloupe was curled up next to it.

“Girls have a place inside where the boy’s wiener fits, and when grown-ups do that, it’s called “mating,” and that starts babies.”

“Why?”

“Because there are seeds that come out of the man into the woman,” I said.

“Girls are gardens?”

“Sort of.”

“I’d never get that close to one,” he said.

“Maybe not now,” I told him. “But someday.”

“Men don’t have that bun place,” Deaton said.

“Who?”

“Queers.”

“No, of course not! They—they find each other, I guess, like men and women do.”

“So who found Daddy?”

“Deaton!” I could feel the anger hot on the back of my neck. “Didn’t you hear me? Daddy is not a queer. Nobody got him. He left for his own reasons. None of us knows why. But I do know one thing: I’m going to beat the shit out of Albion.”

Deaton looked skeptical. “Can I watch?”
