David Sedaris Quote
What were you asleep? Helen would say as I opened the door. I've been up since five. In her hand would be aluminum tray covered with foil, either that or a saucepan with a lid on it.Well, I'd tell her, I didn't go to bed until three.I didn't go to bed until three thirty.This was how it was with her: If you got fifteen minutes of sleep, she got only ten. If you had a cold, she had the flu. If you'd dodged a bullet, she'd dodged five. Blindfolded. After my mother's funeral, I remember her greeting me with So what? My mother died when I was half your age.Gosh, I said. Thing of everything she missed.pgs. 86-87
