"'Hello! I say inside my can "What did you want to tell me?"
My grandmother listens, then puts her mouth in her can and tells me:
"I don't remember.
"It doesn't matter," I say. Tell me the word I like and that's it.
"Ti voglio.
I like it when my grandmother calls me "tivolio". It seems to me that it is like a pudding, but it is not a pudding. It means I love you."
Relationships, like seeds, need the dedication, food, and time necessary to cultivate.
In The Conversation, a grandmother and her grandson turn everyday life into a beautiful harvest through words of affection.
Spanish Description: «—¡Hola! —digo dentro de mi lata —¿qué me querías decir? Mi abuela escucha, después pone la boca en su lata y me dice: —No me acuerdo. —No importa —le digo—. Dime la palabra que me gusta y listo. —Ti voglio. Me gusta cuando mi abuela me dice “tivolio”. A mí me parece que es como un budincito, pero no es un budín. Quiere decir te quiero». Las relaciones, al igual que las semillas, necesitan de la dedicación, el alimento y el tiempo necesarios para cultivarse. En La conversación una abuela y su nieto convierten la cotidianidad en una hermosa cosecha mediante palabras de afecto.
