I'm coming home right now, Ma. I'll

Thomas stick around, I wanna see him

about something.

PILLETTI HOME, LIVING ROOM.

Mrs. Pilletti is on the phone.

MRS. PILLETTI

Okay, you come on home, okay.

She hangs up, braces herself, turns and starts back to Thomas

and Virginia in the dining room.

MRS. PILLETTI

He coming home right now.

VIRGINIA:

So what happened, Aunt Theresa, about

the milk bottle was my mother-in-

law, she comes inna kitchen, Aunt

Theresa, and she begins poking her

head over my shoulder here and poking

her head over my shoulder there, so

then she begins telling me how I

waste money and how I can't cook,

and how I'm raising my baby all wrong,

so she got me so nervous, I spilled

some milk I was making for the baby...

MRS. PILLETTI

She was here, you know, Wednesday,

and I said, "Catherine, my sister..."

VIRGINIA:

So she say, "You're spilling the

milk." So she kept talking about

these coupla drops of milk I spilled,

so she got me so mad, so I said,

"Mama, you wanna see me really spill

some milk?" So I took the bottle,

and I threw it against the door. I

didn't throw it at her. That's just

something she made up. She goes around

telling everybody I threw the bottla

milk at her. I didn't throw it

anywheres near her. Well, I was sorry

right away, you know, but she ran

outta the house.
