The Darkest - Blackest Tuesday (Part L)

Alice! Alice wake up, She half opens the door, What? Wake the girls Ma’am’s making breakfast Harry did you hit your head on something? Al , Ma’am told me to wake everyone for breakfast I went first to “Billy’s mattress hey PET wake up, Bobby throws a pillow over his head “Jesus” Harry shut up ,Ma’am will hear you” Ma’am told me to wake you guys up Al’s waking the girls The girls get the tub first again : I don’t think we have to bathe today We have to go down stairs Everybody was ready at the top of the stairs Alice grabbed my hand “you go first Ma’am expects it We all joined hands and Alice prayed “Dear Heavenly Father Watch over our souls, guide our Hearts At the top of the stairs I yelled “Ma’am we’re ready “Call me Mom ,your eggs are getting cold Hurry” Everyone’s eyes darted back and forth to each other, Ginny signed Millie Ma’am said call her MOM Millie’s response was to fast to understand, down stairs through the living room into the kitchen “WOW” Eleven plates filled with Eggs, sausage, English muffins , peanut butter and jam eleven large orange juice We all stared with our mouths opened ; the lady in the kitchen looked like Ma’am acted like a MOM “You going to stand there all day catching flies or you going to eat breakfast” we scurried to our seats “Alice will say grace I’m going upstairs to soak, I want the dishes done and the kitchen clean when I return” “God we thank-you for this food, for wind and rain and Sun above :but most of all for those we Love Amen” “” AMEN””

Ma'am i still wouldn't trust her now, but as a young kid, any would because children don't know better yet, and the sad part is, there would be nothing they would be able to do but yell. i have an uneasy feeling here.): -going on to the next
