There Was An Old Woman
“Carmichael, Robert and another clerk whose name I didn’t get, a fellow customer named Bill and Catherine Bracken. How did that happen? Don’t ask. Ma and I’d been ready to leave, I was walking around to the driver’s side of the car, when Ma yelled, “Stop!” I looked around and saw that Ma’s bag of oranges had split. Oranges were rolling all over the Tarmac. People from the supermarket, who had been watching our progress under the mercury lights, came running to help. While we were racing after or...anges, a clerk appeared with a forgotten shopping bag. Carmichael picked up his apology where he had broken it off. Cath Bracken was watching it all standing beside an island of shopping carts. Then I heard my mother inviting everybody back to her house for a drink. I couldn’t believe it! She shouted the address and waved at the crowd as she got into the car.
While we were driving, of course, Ma had her chance to get to me.
“Thank you for coming, Benny,” she said. At least she’d dropped “son,”MoreLess
