My younger sister is getting married later today.
Yesterday, I made a promise to my six-year-old cousin Leah (seen above, making up for the forthcoming humiliation) that I would sit next to her at dinner. Earlier in the day I'd pissed her off by sitting next to her older sister Sophie in the car.
Cousin TS is a master of pre-teen diplomacy.
Anyway, Leah -- who, like her eight-year-old sister, is so wonderful that I would at a moment's notice toss myself in front of an Amtrak if they asked nicely -- and I were talking about The Band (seriously) and she says to me, for reasons I cannot even begin to fathom
So, what if you're 108 and not married and then you die?
I told her, I don't know how to answer the question and anyway that's one of the most horrible things anyone's ever said to me.
"Just kidding!" she said.
