Midnight (2008)
“After a great meal, Naja and I walked to the store to pick up various Sunday newspapers. When we returned, Umma excitedly announced, “Leave your shoes on. I have a chance to take some measurements from the family members of the wedding party.”
“On a Sunday?” Naja asked Umma.
“I know. It’s a rush job. Because of everyone’s schedule, so many of us working two jobs, it turns out that Sunday is our best option. I just got the call from Yaella. The earlier I get these measurements done, the more comfortable they will feel. One of the women even works on Sundays. Now her sister says I have less than two hours to get over to the Bronx to take her measurements before the woman is off to work again.”
Naja and I listened and waited. Umma spoke as she rushed around.
Ever since Naja was born, Sunday in our apartment was reserved as family day. The rule is, no matter what we do, we do it together on Sundays. Usually, we relax at home, reading, listening to music, or conversing with one another.
