“When I think about the definition of what it means to be a grown man, I can’t come up with a better visual than Jerry Flanders on the night I ran to him with news of the rattlesnake. Jerry, wanting nothing more than to go back to bed but knowing he couldn’t. He was no less afraid of snakes than I was and hardly enthused about the prospect of leaving his house in the night to find one, but I’d run to him for help, and he had nobody else to turn to. The difference between boy and man. Some night you’re going to need to be the one who carries the shovel.”

“our homes are extremely important to us, in so many ways. Sometimes they may be all we have. We’ll probably spend most of our lives inside them; will sleep most of our sleep inside them; will spend much of our income on maintaining and improving and repairing them. Our children will grow up in them, and pets will mark their territories around them; our homes may also bring us close to penury and bankruptcy. We do life in them; we go through life in them. And, in a strange way, a home can become a mother to us when we’re older. Homes protect us.”

“Awwwright,” I drawled. “Two sexy single ladies living the fabulous single lifestyle, then.” Mom gave me a droll look. “So … boxed wine and binging British crime shows?”
