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””
