但是我从未见过她。我从来不知道她是Pauline，他父母给她的名字，或者是Posey，她的朋友给了她的名字。只有作为妈妈，我给她起的名字。我只能看到她带着厨房手套将晚餐带到桌子上，或者把我们拼车去保龄球馆。
(But I had never seen her that way. I had never known her as Pauline, the name he parents had given her, or as Posey, the name her friends had given her; only as Mom, the name I had given her. I could only see her carrying dinner to the table with kitchen mitts, or carpooling us to the bowling alley.)
