Thuy slams the front door. She races to Lin and Vuong, studying at the table. She's yelling and jumping around. Thuy never slams the door and she never yells and jumps. This could be interesting. I leave the TV. I check the window but I don't see the old man watching.

“I won! I won!” Thuy cries, waving around a piece of paper. We crowd near her as she brushes papers aside and puts the paper in the middle of the empty space. A little piece of paper. “Thuy Nguyen,” it says on one line. At the end of the line it says “$250.00.”

“A check for two hundred and fifty dollars. Wow!” Vuong is impressed.

“My poster!” Thuy cries. “My Fair Housing poster won first prize.”

I remember the thing. She was crabby when I drank orange juice near her while she was working on it. “Get out of here, Du. Don't spill that,” she ordered. She had her nose down to that poster for days, coloring little tiny houses all over it. She covered the table with eraser crumbs until late at night. Still, I wish I had that much money. She'll give it to my dad, of course.
