The Darkest - Blackest Tuesday (Part Ll)
The whispering begins Maybe our Fairy God Mother came Sunday night and changed Ma’am
Oh Dot we can only wish so , I’m a little apprehensive, Al what does aperentcive mean I
asked
It means unsure , unreal piped Joe and Jim Bobby why aren’t you eating? Is there any rat
poison
Ma’am probably put it in the eggs Bobby don’t talk like that Billy’s woofing his breakfast down
Of course he’s Ma’am’s Pet, alright, alright let’s take advantage of the Fairy God Mother
Ma’am
Becky tell Millie you and her will dry George and Harry will put away Dot put everything away
The rest of you guys wipe the table and mop the floor I call wiping the table said Joe (always
easy)
Hey Pet go upstairs and ask Ma’am if she needs a fresh towel or anything tell her we’re
almost done
When Billy came down we were all sitting at the clean table with our hands folded She’s
coming now
Ma’am walked into the kitchen, wearing a muti-colored flower dress that matched to a tee
her parasol
Tucked in the bow of her dress was the black rider’s crop which she always carried with her,
just in case
Ma’am, you look beautiful, She playfully grabbed George’s ear I’m not going to tell all of you
again Call
Me “MOM” I don’t want to use this today (touching the Ebony Crop) in fearful uncertain unison
yes MOM
William go to the living room closet and bring the bag out here “hey guys look brand new
beach pails”
“Jesus Christ” Did you say something Robert we all swallow our breath “ I-i said ”Mom your
so nice”
Her hand never even moved toward the Crop Maybe Dotty was right, maybe we had a Fairy
God Mother
