About this Book

Print Excerpt


Mavis shaving creams smiley faces on the windows.

"Tres droll," her husband says, looking on.

I don't spray a word. I hold my shaving cream poised but nothing comes out. I say that I'm blocked.

Robert, tying cans to the bumper, says, "Just pretend you're spraying in your journal."

As we walk away from the parking lot, he says, "I'm pretty sure that's his car."
