| Last Edit May 12, 1999 My senior is going thru a phase. Everything I do must be wrong. So I really blew it this weekend. I took a bite out of his Togo sandwich. You would have thought I committed a capital crime. A sin worse than murder. A little bite. Off the back end of a 12" sandwich. It was cut in half. He inhaled the other half. Before I had the little bite. The kid at the counter told him to let me taste. Pastrami. I didn't want a whole one to my self. Just a bite. I was hungry. I'm on a diet. I don't want to be. I want food. Real food. And the pastrami looked soooo good. Wrong move. I was wearing lipstick. I try to go out of the house with my face on. Looking human. Don't want to scare people. So I got a little lipstick on the bread crust. I was trying to be careful. It's not like he hasn't been kissed. I used to smother him in the morning - kisses all over his face. They thought he was a battered child once when he was a baby. No. A loved one. So what is wrong with a little lipstick? Boy hasn't been kissed much I guess. He didn't want to eat the sandwich! He argued with me. I had ruined it! It wasn't neat. "I'll rewrap it," I say. Not good enough. "It's covered in Mommy germs!" he wails. I can't believe this. I don't have time for this. I don't want onions in the car while we shop for his Tux for the prom. "Eat it," I say. It takes me 20 minutes of arguing. Insisting he not waste food. He peels off the lipstick. He finally eats the sandwich. But first he has extracted a promise from me to never take a bite out of his Togo sandwich ever again. Never, ever. And not to snitch a chip from the bag. Or a fry from his MacDonald's fry bag. I promise. I shouldn't have it anyway. It's just my fat cells rebelling. Besides, he's moving out soon. Temptation will be removed. I also promise to steal in at night and kiss him. It's my right. I made him. Marking my territory. I insist he be covered in Mommy germs. |
