"She smiled, but said, "It's time you learned. You don't expect me to bein the kitchen when Chuck is here do you?"I answered, "I guess not, but why ca...'t we go out to eat?"She laughed at me and asked, "With you wearing your nightie?" Oh, I get it now." I replied.She said, "Maybe someday we can buy you some clothes suitable for goingout, but for now I think you are housebound."I shuddered at the idea of going out of the house dressed like a woman,but paid close attention as she showed me how to. I asked Becky to bring the bikes back and I picked Antonia up in my arms and took her back to our house. Mrs. Birtwhistle described how Antonia had told her of the incident."It didn't matter to her that she had grazed her knee, you had picked her up and carried her, and you treated her knee, washed it carefully and applied some antiseptic cream then bandaged it. She said that you were so kind and gentle. That was when she told us that you were going to be a doctor and that she was going to. "It sounds like it's your fault. You even said so, remember? You shouldn't fuck your friends. Fucking pervert!" With that, Gary was off again, but Frank and Kit stopped him. Both were shouting at him, "That's not gonna help Mikey, Gary."

I was alone, forgotten on the floor with a curtain around me for warmth and modesty. It looked. Ok, so I didn't go to college, yeah, big surprise there. I got a job at Walmart which was pretty ok — at first. I was doing a couple of the cashiers and one of the girls in electronics. But I got caught eating out a customer in the stock room so I got fired. So I got a job at CVS only the same thing happened. Over and over. Longest job I had was three years mostly cause I was sucking the manager out twice a shift. But she wanted me to come back to her place and do her husband and I was like no.
