"'Mama,' Wangero said sweet as a bird. 'Can I have these old quilts?' I heard something fall in the kitchen, and a minute later the kitchen door slammed."
We were trying to figure out why the mom wouldn't just want Dee to take the quilts, if she was going to appreciate them forever.. instead of Maggie, who would put them to "everyday use" and eventually wear them down. But those quilts were promised to Maggie, who is used to Dee getting everything. She was spoiled as a teenager and she still had pretty skin after the fire. That was Maggie who got mad when she heard Wangero ask for the quilts.. she probably assumed her mom would give in-happy that she finally appreciated something. (like her TV show moment) But her mom obviously heard the fall and slam and fought for Maggie.
Maggie is a big pushover and her mom finally realized it.
I guess that was all pretty obvious now that I look harder at it.
