she finally broke

the first time
i heard
my mother say the f word,
using it in a full
sentence,
with verbs, nouns and adjectives,
i was
taken aback, to put
it mildly so i let
go of my
cry baby sister's pigtails
and muttered,
oh my.
this time i think she's
really mad, i thought.
i hadn't heard
a word like that since my
father was around.
i grabbed my ball
and glove, my bat,
and beat it outside.
