.............your mom picks you up that evening and is just talking to you like normal in the car...then about halfway home shes says, "I got a call from your teacher today..."...then you get that ultimate hot flash feeling come over you....and all you can respond with is, "huh?" So then she tells you everything the teacher told her, and you sitting there saying, "mama, that's not evne what happened....this other person was talking to me, so I was just tellin' him..."
So then you almost cryin by the time you get in, and ask, "you ain't gon' tell daddy are you?"
Now, I don't know why I used to ask that, because no matter how small it was, she would always tell him. Then she says, "I don't know yet...."
So you go in, thinking you're gonna punish yourself and maybe she won't tell him. So you sitting there on the sofa, with the TV off, you're stomach is turning knots, and you're looking at the VCR clock because you know you're father is gonna be home any minute, but you're hoping that maybe he stopped off at the store or is getting off late tonight. Meanwhile, you're mom is in the bedroom watching her recorded episode of "All My Children", it's so quiet in the house and you're so nervous, you can hear every word. You walk in there and try to make small talk, like, "M-m-mama, a-ain't that the character that died last week?" So you go back to the sofa, sit down and a few mins later, you faintly, but loudly hear some keys butting up against the door lock, then your hear them go into the lock and the door opens. Now you know you're mom is gonna tell, but you're holding out hope that she won't. You're father has to know something is wrong, because you're sitting there on the sofa with no TV on.
So he goes into the bedroom, you're listening to hear whats going on, and then you quietly hear, "(your name)'s teacher called me at work today...."
Then after that, you know in a matter of minutes it's all over with for you, you're father get's the belt and commences to go to work on you.
