You tell me Tha a woman thingmy Maw used it
What’s a woman’s thing?
Catch hell
Did I say that?
Just now
Really?
Ja
I like it Reminds me of her an my
aunts
Hell was as close to swearing youd
hear come out of their mouths Typically at
family gatherings Im from a huge family
It provoked swearing
Huh. I can’t believe I said it
and didn’t realize I had.
You were on a roll
Sounded natural
But were only acquainted
This
conversation is the longest weve ever had
Which
aint sayin much
It’s part of my vernacular, my Mom used to sa . .
.
. See There
A womans thing
she pursed her lips tapped her index finger against
them
Maybe.
You don’t use it?
I quoted
Woud tell my siblings tha Maw said if they didnt
straightenup flyright they were gonna catch hell
Obviously it appeals to me
My Maw was a force of Nature
If she hadnt been Idve been
shit out of luck
She had my back
But only because I didnt lie to heralways told her the truthcant begin to tell you all the adults she faced down on my behalf
Were you a troublesome kid?
No She said I had a mind of my own an I didnt mind sharin it
Yawoudve
