On Saturday nights, grandmother does Odella and Jacqueline's hair in the kitchen. Smells of biscuits and burning hair mix because the way grandmother does the girls' hair is by heating up a comb and then using it to straighten their curls. Even though it is a painful process, Jacqueline can forget her discomfort when Odella reads stories to her.
