The New Butcher in Town
By Nanisi Barrett D’Arnuk
I’ve been coming in here for years. It was the one butcher shop my mother trusted. Marvin Wright always chose the best cuts and treated his customers with the greatest care. I remembered when he was younger and had a lot of hair; now he was older and completely bald, whether by nature or by razor. He’d watched me grow up, too, and he always remembered me. He’d turned into a sharp old guy. (I say old with affection. He was probably the same age as my dad: forty-nine.)
The Wright family owned a farm in the next county, so he always had fresh meat and would tell his customers when there was going to be a special slaughtering and would take orders for any special cuts.
Hey, Amy,
he greeted me. How are you doing?
I’m fine, Mr. Wright. You?
I’m doing really well, but I think I’m starting to get old.
You, Mr. Wright? You’ll never get old.
Nope, not up here.
He tapped his head. But tell that to my knees. I had trouble getting up this morning when I had knelt down to clean the showcase.
He laughed heartily. How’re your folks? I haven’t seen your mom lately.
They’re doing well. They’ve been away, went to visit my aunt in Florida for two weeks.
Which aunt? Irene?
No, Dad’s sister, Susan.
"Ah, didn’t know her as well. How’s she doing?"
Not too good, I guess. She’s got arthritis real bad.
Then she should be in Arizona, not Florida.
"I know, but tell her that."
Is she as stubborn as your daddy?
I nodded. Guess it’s a family trait. Hope I take after Mom’s side!
We both laughed at the thought.
Oh, tell your Mama that we’ll be slaughtering some sheep next week if there’s anything special she wants.
Ah! Save us a boneless shoulder roast, okay? I’ll see if she wants anything else.
All right. One boneless lamb shoulder roast for the Gilberts.
He turned as he took the pencil from behind his ear and wrote it down on a clip board he had hanging behind the counter. He always had a pencil behind his ear. I can’t remember him without it. So, what can I get you today?
Mom wants two pounds of hamburger, two sides of pork ribs, and a slab of bacon.
You must be having a barbeque this weekend.
"That’s right. We
