All I Wanted Was Some Water
Mommy?
Mommy...
I want some water.
'Not until I hear that magic word.'
What magic word, mommy?
'That word you hear me say to you,
All the time whenever you want something.'
Okay.
Mommy...
May I have some water,
Damnit.
'No!
It's PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...
Damnit.'
Mommy may I have some water?
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...
Damnit.
'You go to your room...
Right this minute.'
WHY?
All I wanted was some water.
'Damnit...
It's PLEASE.'
No thanks.
I'm not going through that again.
I know what time of the month this is.
Daddy told me all about it.
'WHAT? '
