13 Things That Don’t Make Sense

 

by Michael Brooks (385520689)

I read this book during a week that I was blogging for BoingBoing. As a result, the book is full of little scraps of paper where I put a note to look more stuff up about whatever topics online.

“You know,” my mother whispered, momentarily the coquette.

“Cake,” said Dad, sticking out half in the kitchen, half in the garage, sniffing the air, growling like a rapacious household bear. He pounded his chest with one hand, a grease‑pocked socket wrench dangling from the other. “Me want cake!” Tarzan of the Suburbs: He was kidding around for my benefit, I figured. Mom swayed back and forth on the linoleum floor giggling, actually giggling.

Cake because it was late Saturday afternoon. Cake because he loved it. Cake because he had come to expect it, even though he still could not quite believe his good fortune – this cake so variously prepared, so readily available and exclusively his own.

At forty-two, my mother looked at least ten years younger, her olive oil complexion bathed in the pale overhead light of the kitchen’s single mil
