Miss Me When I'm Gone
“I wouldn’t say one is any more memorable than the other, so I’ll start with The Smurfs.
A couple of times, Frank watched me on Saturday morning because Shelly had to go into the pharmacy for a couple of hours. I remember her asking me not to tell Nantie (what I used to call Linda, my mom), and I understood why even then. Nantie had certain ideas about child rearing. They didn’t include leaving the kid with a boyfriend during a monthly weekend visit. But Shelly liked her job at the pharmacy—so m...uch more than the one at the factory—so when her boss asked her to do something, she always said yes. Daughter visit or no. She was trying to be responsible. She knew I’d be okay for a few hours with Frank and the TV.
So I remember watching The Smurfs. I’d gotten up and poured myself a bowl of Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries, my absolute favorite sugar cereal that Nantie wouldn’t ever buy except on my birthday. I always ate the yellow Cap’n Crunch first, saving all the red Crunch Berries for last.MoreLess
