Blanche Quote #196

Quote from Blanche in End of the Curse

Blanche: See, it starts out red, and if it doesn't change color, they say you're not pregnant. If you are, it turns pink or grey.
Rose: I had drapes that color once. I think it's called puce.
Blanche: Is that what puce is? I always wondered.
Rose: That's what the decorator told me.
Sophia: Oh, it looks lavender to me.
Rose: I hated those drapes.
Blanche: Lavender's a great color on me, brings out my eyes.
Rose: Your eyes aren't lavender.

Sophia: I got it, nobody told me. I didn't get it, nobody told me. I figured, "This is life," and went back to my meatballs.

Quote from Blanche

Blanche: Well, my whole childhood, I kept hearing about the curse. How when I was 13, I was going to get the curse. I was absolutely terrified. The year of my 13th birthday, I slept with the lights on all year. Oh, I was sure there was a witch behind every wisteria. I didn't go out on Halloween. I was a wreck. But the year went by and no curse. Then the next year went by, no curse. Then finally, when I was 15, Mama took me to the doctor because I still didn't have the curse. And he said, "Blanche, do you mean to tell me you still don't have your period?" I said, "Well, of course I have my period, you fool. I'm not a child. I've had my period for almost two years. It's the curse I don't have."
