"Are you going to get married again, Grandma?" I asked her. "NO!" Her vehemence was startling enough to spark my curiosity, and for the next few years, I observed her and her friends.
Cyrus and Eleanor have a holiday party and everyone gets together to make brains and read the Brain Bible and everyone brings a different food that is made of brains because those are THE RULES!
