That adult who pulled us aside during movie time, not the teacher but that stranger

the one who tested us

We could tell he was impressed.

kids can read behavior…montage of the faces of the adults who’ve lied to me over a sweeping score

Yup, we figured out the system. We built that ginger bread house. We pitied that kid with the headgear for his teeth. We got scratched by the kittens at home. We lied to moms about

those matches

we found and played with, and then were shocked when she called us out?

that was some black magic shit, how did she know we were lying? soft sax, never slept on the dame after that, not after I knew what she was capable of, put two and two together is what she did see, but how? I’d been played is what it was-

Sulfur dude, she smelled the sulfur on our fingers.

ooohhhhhhh

Was that a dream or an actual memory, the ants and cockroaches on the floor as big as turtles? Asking moms why people didn’t believe in God if he

gave them babies

after they were married.

audience sighs aawwwww
