This is why I love your writing:

"my grandma and I would settle in under a brown and orange chevron blanket "

When I went off to college, way too many years ago, my mother knitted me one that I still have, 45 years later. The image brought back great memories.

"The reason they are scripted is because America is a mafia state".

Boom, reality hits.

You write as life actually is and that is both comforting and friggin frightening.
