Another Matilde Interview

December 17, 1982: I can't talk her out of it! My Tia insists on going to Matilde's to have another chat with her about the housing problem. I say to let Padre Luis handle it. He seems to be a savvy and practical person. When my mother's new check arrives, we'll have to spend most of the money on rent and that's not fair. It's not fair to my mother and it's not fair to my Tia. My mother worked hard for those dollars and my Tia's nerves are on edge.
I'll ask her if I can start putting up ads around the neighborhood advertising my services as an English teacher. There must be a big demand for that in Argentina. I can help my aunt and I'd feel more independent and grown-up. About time.
