Rich Mom Lady - repost.
May 30th, 2006 by Kevin
We’re talking, Michelle and I, about real moms, and where ours went, and whether maybe we are sisters. I don’t think we are because her hair is curly and brown and mine is sort of reddish-blond and straight, and she has light green eyes and mine are dark blue. Sisters are supposed to look alike, aren’t they?
It would be nice, though. I always wanted a sister.
We are in my backyard on the swings and I keep making sure my mother doesn’t come out, because I don’t know why but I don’t think she’d like it if she heard us. Our little magnolia tree is blooming with big white waxy flowers and the lilacs smell good in the summer sun. Sometimes I pick the pretty purple lilacs for my mom and she puts them in a vase on the kitchen table.
Michelle is hanging upside down on the monkey bars and I am swinging on a swing and she says, hey Jenny, maybe our real mom was rich, and maybe she’s looking for us, and maybe there’s even a reward.
And I wonder if maybe that’s true, and I wonder what I would do if some rich mom lady came to my house and tried to take me away. And I wonder if my mom and dad would say, OK, here you go, and give me back just like that; or whether they would say, no, we paid for her, she’s ours now.
But then I remember that my dad jokes, no, you were free - you get what you pay for! That always makes my mom laugh, but I wonder if it’s true. And if I was free, I guess they would have to give me back. You probably can’t keep something you didn’t pay for.
I don’t like thinking about my real mom. My mom and dad told me “we are your real mom and dad now”, and I believed it. I never even thought about that, about someone coming back to get me. Because when somebody gives kittens away, they don’t come back and get them. That doesn’t make any sense. Plus that would make you an Indian giver.
I know Michelle would go just like that because her mom and dad are really mean and she has a bratty brother who is fat and awful and never leaves her alone. I wouldn’t want to go, though. I would want to stay here, but could I? And I think it’s unfair, that some rich mom lady who gave you away when you were just born could be an Indian giver like that. Suddenly I want to cry but I don’t.
And hey Jenny, Michelle says, still upside down, we could have a room together �� a big huge room with all the toys we want, and we could stay up late every night and have our own TV, too.
I have my own room and I like it just fine. I have a canopy bed and lots of teddy bears and a whole lot of Legos and even the Lego castle. I have an X-wing fighter and Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia and C3PO and R2D2 and Lando Calrissian and everything; and I have two cats, too. I don’t need more stuff. When I want to stay up late I read in the closet with a flashlight and nobody knows, and I don’t need my own TV.
Now I am still thinking of this rich mom lady, and I imagine her as looking like Cruella DeVille, with scary black and white hair, or maybe like Miss Hannigan from Annie, all scary and loud and creepy and pinchy and grabby and awful. I like this conversation less and less and I want to tell Michelle to stop, no more, but I don’t because I know she likes the idea.
I know I was other places before, places where they didn’t want me and kept giving me away and giving me away until finally my mom and dad kept me for good, and now I’m thinking that maybe it’s not for good at all.
I think we came from the same place, Michelle and I. And I know that’s how our moms met, because they both had adopted kids and that’s a lot to have in common with somebody. Grownups make friends when they have stuff in common, like making macramï��ï�� stuff or playing Bunco.
And maybe they talk about it, too, and maybe they say hey, maybe one day their real moms will come back and then we can go out every night and play Bunco and drink wine with 7-Up in it and do whatever we want without some bratty little girls hanging around. And then suddenly I am so scared, and my heart jumps up in my throat and sticks there like a piece of saltwater taffy.
I tell Michelle I don��t feel good and I have to go in and she says OK and shrugs and goes back across the street to her house, and I go inside and go to my room and lie on my bed and think about how I had better be extra good, and extra smart, and try extra hard to be a really good girl, or when the rich mom lady comes I might be in trouble. And maybe if I try really hard and do everything perfect my mom and dad will keep me no matter what.
When it’s time for dinner I really don’t feel like eating but I eat anyway. I eat everything on my plate and later I feel so sick, but I never say a word about it.
