The oldest son was away six months, leaving everything behind expect what fit in a medium-sized suitcase. Six months, yet no one moved his boxes from the living room to the garage. All of them, the parents and two sisters, simply learned to walk in a zigzag fashion.
The son has now come home with a European wife, but the boxes go nowhere. The newlyweds sleep on the foldout couch because Grandpa is in the guest bedroom, recovering after a bladder operation. Everyone tries to ignore the sound of old man straining to piss at all hours of the night. (ms)
