I just called my grandmother (or step-grandmother, to be precise) for a little chat. She asked if Damon was coming home tomorrow night and I told her he was. She asked if I was going to put on a costume and I told her I was debating that.
I did think it would be funny if he came home and I was in a costume.
But then she says, “You have to be something sexy.” And I say, “I think I have a clown suit in my closet.” And she says, “No clown! Sexy!”
And I had this sense of dislocation. Is my grandma telling me to be sexy? I don’t know that my grandpa would have condoned this line of advice. But I thought it was funny. I still may wear the clown suit, which I also think would be funny. And easy. And comfortable, since I’ll probably fall asleep waiting for him.
