What do you know and think?
Wednesdays are better than Fridays because we don’t have anything on Fridays. But I like to imagine there’s a feast on the rickety little table and Grandma plays along.

Mum is just spooning the rice onto steel trays when we walk in, and I help her carry them from the kitchen in one corner to the table in the other. Grandma is already waiting with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders.
“Hello, Grandma,” I say, “Aren’t you going to be hot in that blanket? You know Mum’s made spicy rendang tonight.”
Mum hasn't made spicy rendang because today is Wednesday. On Wednesdays we just have rice. Wednesdays are better than Fridays because we don't have anything on Fridays. But I like to imagine there's a feast on the rickety little table and Grandma plays along. Tonight it's a tray of Mum’s world famous rendang.
“I'm just fine, thank you,” Grandma says. “An old woman like me needs to keep warm. And I haven't tasted a rendang that's too spicy for me yet!”
When Grandma smiles her wrinkly face creases even more, and her eyes become narrow slits. Grandma isn't like other old ladies, because most of them get really thin and bony the older they get, but grandma still has plump, round cheeks. She puts this down to “maintaining a healthy appetite” which is also as important as “being proud of who you are” and “pursuing your dreams”.

Grandma is full of useful advice and interesting stories. Once a snake bit her on the arm and she sucked the venom out. Now she is immune to venom. Another time she fell from a third- storey window but landed in a passing cart carrying silks and soft fabrics. It's because of this, and the fact she's the oldest person I know, that I'm beginning to think Grandma might be indestructible. “Your mother was telling me you cut your leg today. I suppose I'd never be able to guess how you hurt yourself?”
“Playing football!”
“Football. Always football. Football will be the death of you, young man.”
Grandma smiles at me. I know she's joking about football being the death of me because being a footballer is probably the safest job in the world. When a footballer gets injured there are about six doctors around him in a second, even if he's just pretending. Once I waited almost six hours to see a doctor at the hospital and even then I didn't get put on a stretcher and carried out like a prince.
