24 | "What do you do all day in that shed out back" his mother asked one night while they ate dinner in front of the TV. | ||
25 | "Write" he answered. | ||
26 | "Write what" she asked in that way that means he'd better not say I don't know. | ||
27 | "I don't know" he said. | ||
28 | |||
29 | "Goddammit Paul" his mother said. | ||
30 | "You're [wasting your life][] out in that shed. | ||
31 | You need to go out and get---" | ||
32 | "I chop down trees too" he said. | ||
33 | "I make furniture out of them." | ||

37 | "It's getting there" he answered. | ||
38 | "I'm getting better every day." | ||
39 | "When is it going to be there" she asked. | ||
40 | "When are you going to sell [this furniture][] of yours?" | ||
41 | "It'll be a while" he answered. | ||
42 | |||
43 | "Then you'd better get a job until then" she said. | ||
