We had eagles, a pet lion, 30 dogs, deer.

Yeah, we had it like a zoo.

I could go like Danny in The Shining.

I could go on my tricycle for hours in the long corridors.

Sometimes, like a magic realism novel, I would go for weeks without seeing a single adult.

I would find food in the fridge.

And he would say, okay, go to the car dealership and clean all the cars all week.

And Saturday I'll give you a third of it.
