“You know what I think the trick to dealing with family is? I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.” “What?” I said, spreading strawberry jam on my toast. “Marrying your best friend.” He wiped his mouth with a napkin. “You marry your best friend, and at family gatherings you deal with your shitty relatives together.

And nobody else really matters because you have your own universe.”

“You’re a musician. How can you have no sense of timekeeping?” “You are a larger instrument than a flute.” “I bet you say that to all the girls.”
