the fairest of the fair

i love all my ferns the same, but i love maidenhair the most. that’s what my romanian immigrant grandmother used to say about her ten grandchildren…”i love all my grandchildren the same, but i love dee dee the best.” dee dee is my older sister, grandam eva’s favorite. i always understood you grandma eva, no hard feelings.
