Jumper: Griffin's Story
“I mean, she cleaned and cooked and did laundry. But she also scolded him constantly, long bursts of rapid–fire Spanish to which he almost always answered, "I Clam que si!" At first I thought they were married, but she had her own little bedroom in the back with a wall of religious icons, saints, the Virgin Mary, and Jesus.
They stayed at home the day after they'd found me but for the next four days after that, they loaded the truck up with the stretcher and medical supplies and bottled wate...r and drove out.
Consuelo would make me a lunch and show it to me before leaving. "Ahi te deje listo to lonche." Then she would say, "Descanza y bebe mucha agua." And she would mime drinking from a bottle.
And I would say, "/Claw que si!" And Sam would laugh and she would start scolding him again.
