Since Mama Plant died, I go by her house after work, until we rent it or whatever.
A truck drives by too fast, a girl is pushed out/jumps, a domestic dispute ensues across the street.
I sit in the chair Mama used to watch the world go by from.
Maybe he won’t kill her if I’m watching.
A child is present. A toddler perhaps. Daddy is carrying her when he’s not trying to burn up his truck engine. Mama is trying to get into the house across the street perhaps she knows them.
They eventually leave together.
However, here lies the reason for my post.
He: “You are nothin’ but a drug addict and a whore!”
She: “I am not a drug addict!”
I suppose there is humor in everything.
Hope the kid’s ok.
The Moderator Mumbles: Carn, I’m not sure where this is suppose to go. If it’s your own poetic musings, it probably is best in MPSIMS rather than Cafe Society… so, I’m moving it there. If I’ve misinterpreted, let me know and we’ll move ‘er back or somewhere else or somethin’.
Sad.
But I almost pissed myself laughing.
I have my own domestic anecdote to offer.
Some friends and I were camping at a campground in Ohio next to some <cough-rednecks-cough> when we heard the following argument. (of course we all turned our lawn chairs to face them, cracked open our beers and watched the fireworks. It was like an episode of Cops)
I should preface by saying they rushed Sister redneck to the hospital as she was going into labor. An hour later, the guys returned, leaving sis at the hospital.
Mike: I still think she oughtta give it up.
Redneck brother: She won’t say who the daddy is.
Mike: I don’t think she know who the daddy is!
Paw: You both shut the fuck up ya’ll don’t know shit and it ain’t nunya bizniz…
Mike: (to RNbrother) <mumble mumble untintelligible insult>
RNBro: FUCK YOU MIKE! FUCK YOU!
Mike: Don’t start your cracked out shit with me or we’ll throw down right now just like that time on Paw’s porch!!
RNBro: FUCK YOU MIKE! You don’t know! I ain’t touched crack in over a month and even when I was smoking I still took care of my keeids (“kids”) I done took em to the park every fuckin’ day!
We lost it at that point, someone in my camp busted out the Jaeger and the rest is fuzzy.
