mammas home

i'm back kiddies. mummy missed you all and promises to never go away again. unless of course you're naughty little munchkins, and then she'll go to the store for milk and cigarettes and NEVER EVER come back. she'll probably take up with some bearded trucker named hal, who'll call her darlin and sing johnny cash songs to her while she rides shotgun in his semi-trailer, painting her toenails 'harlot pink' and wearing nothing but denim short shorts and a smile. until that fateful day when the law catches up with hal for "that incident" back in '98 ("i swear, she told me she was 13", he'll say), and mamma's forced to pull beers (among other things) for the fellas at the only pub in a town like alice, saving all her pennies for hal's bail money and regretting the day she left you, but too ashamed to come crawling back.
