D’Lo, sitting in the bathroom, watching me blow dry my hair and begin my make-up ritual…
“Mama, where you going?”
“Nowhere, Baby.”
“You going nowhere?!”
“That’s right, I’m going nowhere.”
“You going to get Sissy and take her to nowhere?”
“No Baby, I’m staying here.”
“Well…where you going then?”
“Nowhere.”
“Can I go nowhere with you too?”
“Yes, Baby…you can go nowhere too.”
