This was the sweetest, most lived in and comfortable short story I've ever read. I loved every single thing about it.
"To someone who went to the actual bank to get rolls of pennies for house spirits, it didn’t even sound so weird."
"Emergency life-saving via oatmeal caused Aly to appoint herself Boss Of Caro, which sucked at the gym (so many reps) but had its own advantages, aside from Aly’s fundamental cuteness."
“This is a safe place,” the neighbor said, staring up at Mama. “Protected. I don’t think you’re a very safe person. You should leave now.”
“Oh honey,” the neighbor said. “Just bake me some brownies or something some time. It all comes out in the wash.”
