    Summary

    “Can’t I have a regular name like Mike or somethin’?”

    Bubbe points the knife at him, still sticky with cake frosting and black crumbs. “Oy, Mishka, your grandfather, my Misha, gave you that name; may his memory be for a blessing. You must respect the dead, boychik.” She glares over her bifocals, the kitchen light catching the blue rinse in her hair and the tangerine nicotine stains on her fingertips. 

    “But why Buchanan, Bubbe? It sounds so old.”

    “Buchanan is after my brother.”

    (Or, the last boy Becca Barnes Proctor raised was her grandson).
