First and foremost: these bitches be crazy.
No seriously. They run up and fetch a kid from the arms of the Slender Fuck and straight up drag that kid off. And yeah, that part hurt a bit. But they were still stubborn enough to do it.
So the tall woman mumbles about all the strays and generosity and the never worrying about the self, but she totally bends under the little one's words. It's kinda quaint. I never got the opportunity to really see people being all 'cute'. It wasn't exactly an option. Whatever. I'm not bemoaning my lack of social exposure.
I hear she's called Tia, and the other Lissie. I'm renaming them.
Respectfully, "Grumpy Mum" and "Paint-Splattered Mum." I think these are more appropriate callings. And besides, despite me only running with 'em a few days now, they treat me real nice.
Haven't been treated this nice since I was in school - an' hell was that a while ago. Actually, since I was with the tribe, and that was even longer ago. So I guess that's why I think the mums are crazy. Because they are. For treating a stranger-orphan-homeless kid so nice. I suppose in my backhanded way I wanna thank them for at least temporarily dragging me with them, so I'm making myself useful and cleaning up after them in their truck and stuff. I don't have shit else to do anyway.
And the grumpy mum needs a little extra support - despite what she says or claims or whatever.
Second, I guess I should introduce myself. They talked about me. Or the paint-splattered mum did. And she alluded to some things. About some tough topics. But I really don't know if I should go into all that yet.
Until further notice I guess I should give you a name.
Kailin. Not Kai. Not Lin. Not Kail. Not anything else. Kailin Lusio. And I am me. Does anything else really matter?
Good to meet you. And 'Mum' does seem to fit both of them.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's what I think! It seems to be growing on them.
Delete... "Mum"s? Really? Uhm, okay, then? I... Yeah. Just going to not say anything there. And yeah. Paint or something.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've never laid claim to sanity.
DeleteMothers are ALWAYS crazy.
ReplyDeleteRight! This bitch knows what I'm talking about!
