Chapter 15 - JUNE ASKS WHY GRANDMA BEA WAS MEAN

June was five when she asked properly.
Not:
What happened?
Why?
Why did Grandma Bea make Mommy do everything?
We answered in language she could hold.
“Grandma Bea thought being older meant she could make other people work for her.”
“Why?”
“Because people made her work that way when she was young.”
June frowned.
“So she copy?”
“Yes.”
“Why not stop?”
There was the question entire generations fail.
“Sometimes people think surviving something proves it was good for them.”
June shook her head.
May you like
“That dumb.”
Children remain efficient philosophers.
