Instead, I go down to the second-hand basement. I am here often - looking for something to decorate my life with my mother. I choose for a long time and carefully, like a dresser before a new performance. They know me and leave special things especially for me. Velvet gloves with cropped fingers, multicolored sneakers, strange corsets with underwire, dresses that seem to have jumped out of the crowd at a concert of the Abba group, old Indian bags embroidered with beads ... I only leave sneakers for myself, the rest goes to my museum, for which I have equipped pantry. Mom sometimes goes there when the mood is bad, or it's raining all day, or she just wants to sit in silence among the shelves with fancy English shoes, among striped dresses and old trinkets I have picked up.

In any thing, even the smallest, like a button, there is a soul. It's just that many souls, like people, sleep, and only the bravest see and feel everything. They call out to us, and quite loudly.

I run home, and the hat in the bag is happy, mutters something and giggles, like a child waking up in the morning.

Have you noticed that you can call in different ways?... Sometimes, you sit in a chair, suddenly the bell - and how a cold shower rolled. Or vice versa, they will call, and it feels like a puppy in his legs is confused with joy. Calls, they are also like people: they are anxious, sleepless, proud or ready to cry. It was a special call. We haven't got a call like that yet. So they call when they return home after a round-the-world trip: they break in, throw dusty backpacks, drop worn sneakers, run to the kitchen and greedily drink water from the tap.

"Today, the one who was at two o'clock lost three times," I tell her at the meeting, showing my sensitive hearing.
"It doesn't matter," she throws.
- What's important?
- Feeling the bottom of the key is what's important. Music is not figure skating, it is there consider how many times he fell.

It was October, and the sun was piercing the tight cool air with honey. Mom walked next to her in a plaid coat, and rustling a paper bag. It smelled of vanilla, autumn, wind. It smells like it when something good is about to happen and you're waiting for a miracle at any moment.
So now it seemed to me that with each step the sky becomes higher, the street is wider, the sounds are louder and more cheerful.

People are sitting in a coffee shop - do you think they love coffee so much? No, they just have nowhere to talk and have no time. Therefore, if the conversation is long, they take large cups of cappuccino, and if short, then small cups of espresso.

But adults - ordinary adults, and not like Kira Sergeevna - for some reason think that a person needs to be taught a lot besides joy. And they teach. And then the brains become not village wells, but tap water. And you no longer understand the bird's language. And the tree for you is just a trunk with branches, and not an old grumpy old woman Gertrude growing in our yard.

Sometimes it seems to me that her "knowledge of Russian in perfection" prevents her from living. For example, we are sitting in a cafe, eating cakes. She eats with one hand, and writes out all the mistakes, omissions and irregularities from the menu on a napkin with the other.
