" When I mentioned that—that I’d recorded what the Butcher had said to her but that I’d not gotten a chance to translate and listen to it before the phone was destroyed—I expected my aunt to be surprised by my sneakiness. Instead, she took her phone out of her pocket, fidgeted with it, then handed the phone to me. I knew, before I’d even put the thing to my ear, what it was: my aunt had recorded that particular moment with the Butcher also. Because not only does an old lady like being accompanied to the doctor’s office, but an old lady also likes to record what the doctor says to her, so difficult is it for an old lady to pay close attention to the doctor’s diagnosis at the time of its delivery, especially if the diagnosis is a bad one.
