Which is the best example of figurative language regarding Ted's interaction with his mother?
She trusted him to build well and
O not ruin things, but of course she
had to know where.
He knew how to slither under her
smoothly, like silk.
She thought of the year he began
O kissing her elbow in passing, the
way he preferred
Later they all laughed about this till
they cried, including Vida, and
things felt safer
