How Many Times Do I Have To Tell You? Part B (915 Words)

4 PM - After School Admittedly, I was young and just about to where I thought I was fairly smart. If I had really been smart, I would have kept my mouth shut, but you know how the ignorance of youth works. You engage your mouth for several seconds before you engage your brain. I got off the bus and... Sign in to see full entry.

How Many Times Do I Have To Tell You? Part A (730 words)

How Many Times Do I Have To Tell You? Growing up on the farm was a good thing for me for many reasons. I learned a genuine work ethic out of necessity. It did not matter if I didn’t feel good or if I didn’t want to work in the barn. The cows needed to be milked. Every day, twice a day, the cows... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - Part Three - D (984 words)

The '56 Christmas Incident It’s funny how certain events stick with you for a long time. My father had an odd laugh, and when I get in certain situations, and I will hear him laughing. That’s a pleasant memory. The beating I got in the afternoon of Christmas, 1956, is another memory I will carry to... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - Part Three - C (878 words)

I never knew it for years after I left home, but there was a reason my mother was like she was for a reason. I was visiting one of my paternal uncles, and I was relating my last encounter with my mother when he pulled me aside and told me what had happened eight years before I was born. It was the...

I Hate My Mother - Part Three - B (806 Words)

I looked at her and pointed to the small print, and said, “If you look right here, it tells you the answers to the questions.” I saw a puzzled look cross her face, and I told her again. “The print is awfully small, but if I get close to it, I can read what it says.” She asked me to pick up my paper...

I Hate My Mother - Part Three - A (With An Update)

Christmas 1956 Before I get too far into this chapter, we need to talk again. I was three years and five months old on Christmas that year. You might not believe this, but I can remember this day like it was yesterday. I was precocious as precocious could be. To save you from skipping that word or... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - Part Two C - (930 Words - A Bit Longer)

I scanned her again. The scar on her right forearm was where she had reached across an old-fashioned wringer-washing machine and had accidentally tripped the lock, causing it to spring up so hard, it snapped her arm, and her ulna, the smaller of the two bones in the lower arm had broken through the...

I Hate My Mother - Part Two B (806 words)

I get along with the vast majority of my extended family, but these two women weren’t in that group. Most of my family members were down-to-earth types, but these two always seemed to think they were walking several inches above you. When you were swimming, they were walking on the water. You get...

I Hate My Mother - Part Two A

***I'm splitting some of these longer chapters at logical cut-off spots to keep the word count from getting over 700 words. V *********** A Chance Meeting I can’t rightfully tell you the exact date I met my mother face-to-face for the first time in years, but I think it was in the spring of 2015. It...
