Chapter 17: Three Liars
Maude made Ewan wait on the porch for four long minutes.
She used them to put the kettle on, wake my mother, and set three chairs around her kitchen table with their backs to the door.
Then she opened it and said, "Get in here, you big fool."
He ducked under the frame and stood there with his hands hanging.
My mother was in her quilted robe at the head of the table, with her walker beside her and her headscarf on crooked.
I sat at her right.
Nobody offered Ewan a chair.
"Sit," Maude said, and pointed her cane at the one across from me.
He sat.
"I raised you for twenty-eight years," she said.
"I taught you to tell the truth, to wash your hands, and to never cook in a pan you wouldn't eat out of."
"Gram."
"You can lie to a dining room with a straight face, apparently, and not once to your own wife."
"I know."
"You don't know. I haven't started."
She started.
It took ten minutes, and it was magnificent, and I won't write all of it down.
She said she had watched him eat at a counter standing up since he was nineteen years old.
