“I want more grandchildren,” our ma said, waving a frustrated hand holding
a sauce-covered wooden spatula around for emphasis. “That’s all I’m
saying.”
“She’s talking to you,” Elisa said, looking over at me. “You’re the oldest
unmarried one,” she reasoned.
“Maybe, but your clock is ticking,” Milo shot back at her, safe in his
singleness, being the youngest, and knowing our mother would give him
some grace to ‘get his wild out’ still.
“Asshole,” Elisa said, rolling her eyes at Milo, and tossing a bit of
dough at him that she was supposed to be twisting into garlic knots.
“A mouth like that, and the only man who is going to want you is a
sailor,” our mother said, shaking her head at Elisa.
“Maybe I like sailors. Or outlaw bikers. Or—“ she cut herself off when
our mother shot her narrowed eyes, knowing she wasn’t in the mood to be
teased. “I’ve been busy, Ma,” she said, sighing.
“Busy busy busy. That’s all I hear from Smush too,” she grumbled.
“Getting so busy making livings that you aren’t making lives.”
“I have a life,” Elisa insisted.
“You have a townhouse you pay too much money for. You have nice
shoes. And a relationship with your phone. That’s not a life, Elisa.”
When it came to the Grassi moms, they all agreed on one thing. All their
kids needed to be married and popping out babies.
The thing was, I wanted that too.
And I was sure Elisa and Smush had those things in mind as well.
Sometimes, it just didn’t happen as quickly as we might like.
Luckily for Elisa, Milo decided to stop being a dick for a second and
come to his sister’s defense. “Have you seen the men out there, Ma?” he
asked, scoffing. “Wouldn’t trust ‘em to take out my fucking trash, let alone
my sister.”
It was no secret that Elisa had recently gone through a nasty breakup.
One she played down for our mom, but everyone else knew had really
gotten to her.
Milo was usually self-absorbed and kind of an ass. But he could be
counted on to be a good brother on occasion.
Elisa shot him a sad smile that he shrugged at.
“But that is not an invitation to start setting me up with men you think
are good,” Elisa was quick to add, eyes panicked at the prospect.
I’d been on the receiving end of four dates set up by my mother. One, a
girl barely out of college who only wanted to talk about her spring break
plans.
Another, staring down the barrel of the end of her fertility and, in my
mother’s words, ‘desperate to get married and have babies.’ Unfortunately,
‘desperate’ very much was her vibe. I barely managed to untangle her from
me in the parking lot of the restaurant, she was so determined to take me
home.
