Story time
Motherhood is a calling, Wanda Lensherr will say at every opportunity. Each birth means a life and eventually a death. It is a holy chore, raising children.
Which does not prevent the children from being holy terrors, on occasion, which Tommy will be at every opportunity. But she hopes he will behave now, during one of those most important times of a mother's day: story time.
"Billy?" she calls out. "Tommy? Boys? It's time." She settles on the living room couch, book in hand, her finger marking the place where she'd left off the night before.
