i thought things over frequently during the late spring and early summer , and i decided that after the baby was bom , our family should probably move again . my mother used to say , 'you can eat salt with someone for five years and never know them . ' she turned to him , but he was noncommittal . `` who 's babysitting whom , that 's the question . '' `` but with you , i just ca n't hold myself back any longer . standing in his briefs , he said , this too , or is your imagination sufficient ?
