Dude. Let me see if I can pick out just one line from each - this will be a nice challenge for myself, since I want to quote back every line.

(1) What matters to her is the popsicle and the head-rubbing.

(3) He tosses pennies for her to dive to the bottom to get when he’s not in there with her, and if the sun is out he slathers copious amounts of waterproof suntan lotion on her because she’s not quite as fair skinned as he is but still burns easily.

(5) He sweeps her up into his arms so she can’t see the fear on his face, before it can sink in that things have not skipped a generation, before she can ask what happened.
