I explain what happened along the way. i take the doctor into my conficence and tell him someone put some stuff on me. he examines me closely and prescribes a salve and pain pills. we buy the salve, but I do not believe in drugs. when me get home, mother is waiting for me with a new strap in her hand. she sends tommy away. i slowly enter the house and stand before her. 'the neighbor just called. it seems someone had a party yesterday in my house. she said hundreds of boys were here. she also said all the blinds were pulled.' it is true, there were twenty seven. 'they were here for several hours?' '(yes.) 'doing what?' I am silent. 'my god Inez, twenty seven?' [57] 'you disobeyed me?' (yes) 'take your clothes off and bend over.' i obey her. 'this strap will not cut you. I am told it will hurt more.' she beats me. |
