Their intimacy was born when they discovered that each found the wicked stepmother far more interesting than the boring Snow White, who deserved her even more boring and bland prince.“They'

19、39;t forgive me because I tell them what I see, good and bad, without all that sugarcoating or denial.”Miguel Chico leaned to the clinical, if not the scientific, and took Josie's side in most family quarrels. Enjoying his popularity and the privileges of a favorite grandchild, he was still deny

20、ing what he saw in himself, let alone others, in those early years of learning to be the consummate pleaser.Josie watched him charm his life away through high school, where, with little effort, he carried off all the prizes.

24、ew mumbled something noncommittal and was glad when his aunt and cousin did not ask him to repeat it. He felt the kitchen charged with their antagonism toward each other, very like when he was in his father's presence. Here, he was an observer, but he lost his appetite in an instant. Josie fixed

25、 three more crackers and offered him one. He took it and set it next to the other on the blue napkin in his lap.“Eat, cousin,” she said. “You have permission from on high.” And she put the two remaining snacks in her mouth at the same time.“Josie, I'm warning you,” Eduviges said. “If you do

26、n't feel like eating your supper later, there won't be any midnight raids on the refrigerator.”“What are you going to do, Mother? Put a padlock on the door?” Josie laughed.“Malcriada,” her mother said. “Ofelia and Serena know I mean it.”Josie licked the apple butter on the spoon. “It sure is

27、 hard,” she said to Miguel Chico, “being the sister of a perfect child and a saint.” Then, looking at her mother with even darker eyes, she said, “Leave me alone Mother. I'm old enough to make my own choices. And anyway, you're never going to approve of anything do, so why not just give up a
