Al Capone Does My Shirts Part 2, Chapter 32 Summary

The Button Box

  • Mom comes home with the button box rattling in her purse and Dad says that he needs to speak to her. After they go into their room, Moose listens as the voices start out calm and get more heated.
  • Mom is defending Dr. Kelly, but Dad says they need to listen to Moose, who's really gotten to understand Natalie pretty well.
  • He hears his mom compare Natalie and him—one kid that's normal and everyone likes, and then a kid like Natalie. Their voices get quiet again, so Moose goes into Natalie's room to watch her sleep. He watches how peaceful she is and thinks about the sister that he might have had.
