Last Night I Sang to the Monster
“I’m four. What I’m remembering must be a dream because I have lots of brothers and sisters. I’m wearing a white shirt and black pants and nice dress shoes that hurt my feet. I’m playing with all my brothers and sisters on my dad’s perfect lawn.
I just want to be alone. I walk away from everyone and I find this very cool tricycle. I start riding it and I’m singing to myself. I’m happy. I look back and see that all my brothers and sisters and my mom and my dad are all piling into the car. My mom ...is carrying a present. It’s really pretty with a white silk ribbon. And then the car drives away.
I wave at them. Bye. Bye. I keep riding my tricycle. I keep singing. I’m happy. I don’t like it when there’s a lot of noise.
But then, the car comes back and my mother says. “Where were you?”
And I say, “I was here.”
“You scared us. We didn’t know where you were. You’re a bad boy scaring me like that.”
She sounds really, really mad. “I’m sorry,” I say. I feel a knot in my stomach.MoreLess
