Now, Grandma was putting on her sweetest face, feeding me all sorts of nutritious foods while telling me about Tanya’s difficult childbirth.
“Your mom nearly died giving birth to you. You have to repay her when you grow up, okay?”
My ghost mom hovered around, frantic and exasperated:
“She’s an old fraud! Don’t believe her!”
Ignoring my ghost mom, I turned to Grandma with wide-eyed innocence and said, “I understand!”
Grandma seemed to think she’d won me over and took off on her travels again.
But now she’s back with Tanya.
What new tricks are they planning?
