As I climbed on and started speeding down the street, I could feel my sister’s newfound respect fading like an old star, but I couldn’t stop. I turned the corner of Charles and Jefferson as if nothing could touch me – I rode faster and faster. As I rode past the Kizers’ house, . . . one of them shouted, “Nice wig!” And I yelled back, my face bent close to the handlebars, “It’s my real hair!” And then another block up, Ruth Kennedy shouted did I know I was wearing my slippers, and I yelled, “They’re my actual feet!”
