Rubyfruit Jungle (2014)
“Carl and Ep detoured to take us kids to Richmond and there we saw a stuffed seal that had come down to swim around Richmond in the 1800s. There was a stuffed Indian too, but he made me sick. Leroy, Ted, and I liked the Civil War uniforms best. The Confederate ones were the prettiest because they had gold braid all down on the cuffs of the sleeves. Leroy confessed if he didn’t become a famous actor, he’d become a soldier so he could wear gold braid on his sleeves. I said that was okay but then h...e couldn’t wear lipstick and he’d have to follow orders.
The journey dragged on and we nearly went crazy cooped up in the car. Carrie invented a license plate game that helped. First one to get one hundred points wins. The plates of the state you were going through counted one point. Every state in the South aside from that state was two points. Northern states were five points and Midwestern ones were ten. Western states were twenty points and California plates were thirty. I knew we’d never see California plates because only movie stars lived out there, and why’d they want to be driving around these washed-out lands?MoreLess
