A Comedy of Heirs
“I needed to be away from my family. All of my family. Except Mary and Rachel, whom I had brought along. I couldn’t handle another cousin, aunt, uncle or anything. My children and I were enjoying a pepperoni and mushroom pizza, thin crust with extra cheese and a big pitcher of soda.
“So anyway,” Rachel said. “So, like Buffy comes out and stakes this vampire, like she usually does, but she’s wearing this really cool black dress.”
“What was the vampire wearing?” I asked.
“Huh?” she asked. Her larg...e dark eyes rolled heavenward. “Who cares what the vamps are wearing, unless it’s Drusilla. You should have seen this dress, Mom. I want one just like it.”
My soon-to-be nine-year-old was acting entirely too old for my own good. I wasn’t upset about her choice of TV material. When I was her age, I couldn’t wait to watch Nightstalker. It’s a universal thing, I guess. I was a little perturbed by the fact that she was more concerned over what the slayer was wearing than the fact that she was slaying at all.MoreLess
