Memories of a Cape Verdean Grandmother (in a child's voice)

 

 # 1 -----Grandma has a nice house with nice furniture.  My favorite piece of furniture is in her extra bed room.  It is in an armoire that she just bought.  It's pine and it has a key in it.  There is nothing inside.  Sometimes I just stand in front of it and lock it and unlock it with the key.  I stick my head inside and smell the wood.  We don't have armoires at our house in Connecticut.  We have closets.  Every week Grandma and I walk eight blocks to Union Street downtown to pay her bills.  She is paying for the armoire at the furniture store.
