Look man,I didn’t get no book

That’s a Strawberry moon over the lake

think in terms of the Summer Solstice

I was there when the child was born

drove the child home with baby in mother’s arms

( no seat belt laws )

having a child is a daily learning curve

want an example of the stuff you learn you along the way

well here ya go

when you see hands on hips with the words FATHER

you know by the posture and tone she’s been hanging around her mother to much

then there isthe sweet smile that accompanies the title

daddy

whatever it is she’s wanting

it’s gonna cost money

anyways

I got this project on bench that me got thinking back

to a time I really needed a book

a friend of the kid gave her a tampax on the bus

saying this will work or something like that

her monthly started on the bus from what I could gather

I had gotten home heard crying coming from the bathroom

” Open the door”

NO!

” Open the door or I’m coming through door”

no parent wants to hear or see thier child hurting

the knob turned, opened slow like

there she was with a towel draped over her lap with blood all down her legs

from concern to ahh man in a nano second

told her, take a bath, calm down no need to cry

I’ll be back in an hour

I got to store found Cathy , co-owner with her hubby

“Cathy where you keep the rat mattresses?”

the what!?

you know um rat mattresses

As a Woman she was quick to understand for she knew the kid

I’m looking all kinds of sizes and brands

” when she says no no no put those back”

she handed me a box of kotex

“sayin these are what she needing”

so off I go to counter 2 front me, so I’m waiting calm like

this guy comes up behind me

first I hear some snicking then some hushed laughter

Cathy behind the counter if looks could kill he was dead before he found the floor

I turned to him

” look you ignorant sonofbitch I have a young lady home what you got vasiline & penthouse

get the fuck away from me before you need platex plastic applicators for nose plugs”

Cathy looked at me

” first box on me Chance”

well thank you Cathy off I went

why I tell ya that?

I got the magnetic closure at the low low price of 2.39

12.50 in shipping the other day

Black leather & hot pink pig skin lining

with attached spring clip

if the case don’t fit the item properly

I’m thinking a small bottle of midol

a mini snickers bar

with plenty of room for 3 plastic applicators

will fit just fine

talk about styling 🙂

now that I think about it, walking into such a situation

it was probably one of the few times I never said

“where’s your mother”

no time no time
