“No, Aunt, you can’t . . .”
“And why not?”
“I don’t know if you’ll understand. . . .”

“You can’t take photographs of that monkey. . . . for reasons of state security, Aunt,” I said, my voice serious.
“Your ration card. You have a ration card, right?” I asked her this figuring she was going to tell me the truth.
“I don’t have any sort of ration card. In Portugal we make our purchases without a card.”

“But why does this beach belong to the Soviets?” Now she seemed really startled.
“I don’t know, I really don’t know . . . It could be that we have a beach there in the Soviet Union that’s only for Angolans!”
