"THINGS I LOVED ABOUT AIDA.

"HER WRINKLES

THAT WERE NEVER MEAN.

"THE WAY SHE TYPED HER LETTERS

"THAT I NEVER HEARD HER YELL,

NOT EVEN WHEN I DESERVED IT.

"HER LOVE FOR

SPANISH SOAP-OPERAS.

THE WAY SHE SMELLED LIKE

HAIRSPRAY AND GREEN SOAP."

YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT US

TO COME WITH YOU?

NO, HE WANTS TO GO ALONE.

THANKS, MOM.

THE AIRLINE WILL

ASK YOU FOR THIS.

TAKE CARE.

AND THE PRINCES HANGED."

"NO ONE WAS EVER HURT.

OLIVER, YOU FINISH
