Men In The Making - Plot & Excerpts

Raymond had taken Monday and Tuesday off, spent the afternoons making soup from Tammy's recipes, flipping through old magazines and doing laundry, matching socks. He ironed his blue hospital scrubs, knowing they looked fine pulled straight from the dryer. He paced the small rooms of their apartment, going from small task to small task, unable to sit still and unwilling to hold any one thing too long in his hands. Taking the remote control from the coffee table, he'd set it next to him on the couch without turning on the TV. He'd even set out to disassemble the baby's changing table that Tammy had gotten through mail order. He'd twisted a wing nut from the aluminum support at the base, and that was it. He'd stopped there. He remembered working as a teenager in the nursery at St. Jude, his parents' church in Houston. The other babysitters had called him Diaper Boy because he hadn't minded the changing, because he'd liked the smell of powder and the crinkling sound of disposable diapers, the milky, cooing thank-yous of freshly changed babies.
