What Ever

YOU LIE!
i stopped in my tracks.
YOU LIE! LOOKY AT MOMMY.
i glanced over my shoulder & watched.
YOU YOU, LOOK AT MOMMY.
YOU LIE, MOMMY WANTS TO TAKE YOUR PICTURE, SMILE.
i thought, what a name for a kid. i've heard of ely but uly? why would you name your child that? hate him, do you? well, maybe she names her kids the same way my mother in law names her cats. whatever comes out of her mouth when she first sees them.
she had 'go away', a tortiese shell colored cat, 'oh my' a club foot calico. 'scat', 'mason' cos his head was stuck in a mason jar, 'jidiot' cos he lived on top of the fridge, 'beggar', 'striper', 'spottie', 'ying' & 'yang', twin brothers that showed up lately. 'yang' was stung by a bee in the spine & now is partially paralyzed pulling himself along with his front paws. she took him to a vet & he said they couldn't do anything for him but he was healthy & he should live a full & complete life. to each their own.
i imagined this woman in the doctors office.
'well, mrs, name your kids whatever, the good news is your pregnant.'
'u lie, mother fucker. don't tell me that shit. don't make me come up outta these stirrups & open a can of whuppass on you.'
9 months later, 'well, i've been thinking of naming him "uly". its different & its the first thing i thought of when the doctor told me i was pregnant.
good thing it wasn't mother fucker. that would have been my first thought. its a shittie name but it could have been worse.
speaking of, did i mention i haven't had a period in 2 & 1/2 months? mother fuck!
later.
