Mom thinks I just have a wild imagination. At least Powwow Pete believes me. I think it was the turtle that killed it for Mom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"How could there be a turtle that big?\" she scoffed. They talked some more and Powwow Pete got kind of mad and got up to leave.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis was one of those times when a kid thinks they're talking about a turtle, but the grown-ups are really talking about something else entirely. In this case, I think Powwow Pete was accusing Mom of still loving my dad, but he never said that, he just kept talking about the turtle. Mom was doing the same thing: talking about the turtle but meaning that she didn't want to get messed up with some guy who was a pathological liar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janelle Meraz Hooper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595294081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595294084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 6.72w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Oklahoma Book Award - Finalist","brand":"Janelle Meraz Hooper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059362230527,"sku":"9780595294084","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e413eacc-0c0d-4ab9-b559-3345710f190f.jpg?v=1685057769","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/as-brown-as-i-want-janelle-meraz-hooper-9780595294084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
