Is It Rare To See a White Wolf Grandpa
"Is it rare to see a white wolf Grandpa?"
I stared at the child. Then at my husband.
That depends, Grandpa said. In the house?
The child’s worried look changed immediately.
“Under the bed?” I gave my husband a guttural sound.
He looked up. “A wolf wouldn’t fit there. He would be squashed.”
What if we saw one in the garden? The child asked.
“I would hand him a rake and some gloves,” Grandpa told him.
Satisfied, he began to settle down with his video game.
“A white wolf!” My husband said. “Imagine that.”
I did not have to imagine it; there was a white wolf on his magazine.
Next to a woman dressed in winter white with antlers.
Now these questions made a lot more sense
