Malachy says,What’s boxty? Dad laughs. Pancakes, son. Pancakes made with potatoes. Grandpa says,We have eggs. It’s Easter Sunday and you can have all the eggs you can hold. We have tea and boxty and boiled eggs and we all fall asleep. I wake up in a bed with Malachy and the twins. My parents are in another bed over by the window.Where am I? It’s getting dark.This is not the ship. Mam snores hink, Dad snores honk. I get up and poke at Dad. I have to pee. He says, Use the chamber pot. What? Under the bed, son.The chamber pot. It has roses on it and maid- ens cavorting in the glen. Pee in that, son. I want to ask him what he’s talking about for even if I’m bursting I feel strange peeing into a pot with roses and maidens cavorting, what- ever they are.We had nothing like this in Classon Avenue where Mrs. Leibowitz sang in the lavatory while we clutched ourselves in the hall. Now Malachy has to use the chamber pot but he wants to sit on it. Dad says, No, you can’t do that, son.You have to go outside.When he says that I have to go, too, to sit. He leads us downstairs and through the big room where Grandpa is sitting reading by the fire and Grandma is dozing in her chair. It’s dark outside, though the moon is bright enough for us to see where we’re going. Dad opens the door of a little house that has a seat with a hole in it. He shows Malachy and me how to sit on the hole and how to wipe ourselves with squares of newspaper stuck on a nail.Then he tells us wait while he goes inside, closes the door and grunts. The moon is so bright I can look down the field and see the things called cows and sheep and I wonder why they don’t go home. In the house there are other people in the room with my grand- parents. Dad says,These are your aunts: Emily, Nora, Maggie,Vera.Your aunt Eva is in Ballymena with children like you. My aunts are not like Mrs. Leibowitz and Minnie MacAdorey, they nod their heads but they don’t hug us or smile. Mam comes into the room with the twins and when Dad tells his sisters,This is Angela and these are the twins, they just nod again. Grandma goes to the kitchen and soon we have bread and sausages and tea.The only one who speaks at the table is Malachy. He points his spoon at the aunts and asks their names again.When Mam tells him eat his sausage and be quiet his eyes fill with tears and Aunt Nora reaches 49
