we are in the backyard. She hears the faint sound of music from inside the house. Sinead O'Conner is singing.
little r "mommy, I hear music. God's wife is singing."
big girl-"God doesn't have a wife. God isn't a man. Maybe you should marry God"
little r "I can't marry God. I already have a boyfriend"
big girl-"you're too young to have a boyfriend"
LR- (indignant) "NO I'm NOT!!
BG-"yes you are!"
LR-"NO, I'm NOT!!" (eyes rolling, chin jutting out, arms in the air as if to exclaim : the things I have to put up with).
pause. face becoming softer.
"Well, I love God"
"Actually, I love God, but I'm not in love with God"
ME-" what's the difference between being in love and just love? (the million dollar question..)
LR-well, I'm not in love with God, I love myself, but that's just who I am, that's me.
