Everyday Use for your grandmama
Alice Walker
I will wait for her in the yard that Maggie and I made so clean and wavy
yester day afternoon. A yard like this is more comfortable than most people
know. It is not just a yard. It is like an extended living room. When the hard
clay is swept clean as a floor and the fine sand around the edges lined with
tiny, irregular grooves, anyone can come and sit and look up into the elm tree
and wait for the breezes that never come inside the house.
Maggie will be nervous until after her sister goes: she will stand hopelessly in
corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs,
eying her sister with a mixture of envy and awe. She thinks her sister has held
life always in the palm of one hand, that no is a word the world never
learned to say to her.
Youve no doubt seen those TV shows where the child who has made
it is confronted, as a surprise, by her own mother and father, tottering in
weakly from backstage. (A Pleasant surprise, of course: What would they do
if parent and child came on the show only to curse out and insult each other?)
On TV mother and child embrace and smile into each others face. Sometimes
the mother and father weep, the child wraps them in her arms and leans
across the table to tell how she would not have made it without their help. I
have seen these programs.
Sometimes I dream a dream in which Dee and I are suddenly brought
together on a TV program of this sort. Out of a cark and soft-seated limousine
I am ushered into a bright room filled with many people. There I meet a
smiling, gray, sporty man like Johnny Carson who shakes my hand and tells
me what a fine girl I have. Then we are on the stage and Dee is embracing me
with tear s in her eyes. She pins on my dress a large orchid, even though she
has told me once that she thinks or chides are tacky flowers.
In real life I am a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-work
