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
