A Legend at Sixty: Larry Mongo’s Birthday Party
1.
Despite Jerry’s warnings–DON’T FORGET THE DEED–I forget the deed. Pity. He and Mary put so much energy into making the sqaure each deeds and googly eyed men, and the tiny magifying glasses are so charming. Mine and Louis’s gift to Larry: Twenty-five inches of LOVELAND Micro Real Estate and a t-shirt that reads I’ve Got Inches in Detroit, featuring a ruler with four inches. The t-shirt. A complete mistake. Girl, want are you trying to do to me? You better hide that shirt. Where I come from . . . Robert Nelson? Robert Nelson? Where are you, Robert Nelson? I could have used your street wisdom before purchasing Larry’s gift. But really, anyone but Louis or I could see the situation unfolding. Christine takes a sharpie and changes the shirt to read I’ve Got Inches + a Foot in Detroit.
