THE PAINT JOB
Bonita hated
the mural. As she told her daughter, ‘If the landlord has enough money to waste
on such frivolities he should paint inside my apartment.’
‘The lease
says that’s your responsibility,’ Juanita replied.
‘Where would
a poor widow find the money for paint?’ Bonita retorted.
Victor kissed
his grandmother. ‘I’ll get you the money, Abuela,’ he said, and ran down to join
the tourists who were taking photos. ‘I’ll take your picture,’ he offered, ‘and
for five euros I’ll photoshop you into the mural. For ten you can be waving from a window!’
