in extra-large photos , my old man , i hate to say it , was wearing a baggy white silk costume and a big nose , probably red ( as i said , the photos were black and white back then ) . i knock and slowly open the door to the bathroom . they helped me shape my story into one i hope people will love and made me realize that the writing community is a great place to be a part of . `` you must be in a good mood . '' the man was obviously picking corn by hand .
