One time I had to write a paper in a high school English class about who I saw when I looked in the mirror. I asked Ettie, “So who do you see when you look in the mirror?”
“Who do you think I see,” she said, “Lana Turner? I see a worried Jewish woman.”
Being Jewish was not the first thing I thought about when I looked in the mirror. What I saw was a teenage girl with glasses, braces on her teeth, Tangee on her lips, wearing her first bra, pink, 32AA.
I was growing older and changing. Ettie was growing old, but she couldn’t change.
