after death, what becomes our family
Father-in-law is an interesting man. He laughs a lot. Like now, when he offers a snack:

"Do you want a senbei?" he asks son, only grandson, now on the verge of fourteen, the age of the "adulthood" ceremony in Japan--or so my wife informs. Grandfather removes a chunk of thin, white and porous material that, yes, looks like a rice cracker except it is paler, with a spot of malevolent green about the size of a penny.

Son waves it off with a gentle "No," and an uneasy giggle.

It is, afterall, from the top of grandmother's skull.
