"And, so, what first attracted you to her?"
**********
Dally asking sophisticated questions when she first learned to talk! This is probably an example of Dally in her later years asking questions. I'm not that terrible at reading comprehension. Pynchon just wanted me to know that Dally has been curious from the start. And why wouldn't she be curious about her missing mother?! What kind of mother leaves their child? And don't think I'm letting fathers off the hook, as if it's somehow acceptable for them to leave their children too! Fuck those guys! Especially that one! You know that one. Not personally, probably, but if you think about it a bit, you can probably figure out which father I'm talking about being that this is me writing that sentiment and you can probably assume that I know one in particular.
