Tohle mě rozesmálo, je to sice trochu morbidní. Ale na toho Apríla:
“How’s your mom, Stan?” I ask.
“She wants to die,” Stan says.
We’ve heard this before. She’s 99 years old and she wants to go. She saw her husband, Stan’s father, after he died, many, many years ago and she is not afraid of death.
“She wanted to die four years ago when she had the cancer,” Stan says. “She was really excited about it. But, then she got well.”
We’re all silent. What do you say, “Too bad.” ?
“Now, she had this stroke two weeks ago,” Stan says, “and the doctor told her she would never speak again and be paralyzed on one side for the rest of her life. So what happens? She’s now talking and walking and she’s not paralyzed. Her mind is perfect. And she’s pissed off.”
