five little children standing at the gate’ waving goodbye to the woman they soon will grow to hate her blue eyes twinkle in the sun and she blows us a kiss as she drives off in her mercedes leaving us alone five little children watching TV eating peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches and doing homework on the floor daddy gets home and ask where is mommy Thomas shrugs and says the bitch took off I start to cry cause I know he is lying Jasen looks sadly at him and says he’s right she left dad She will be back children Im sure she just went to the store or maybe she had an emergency at the hospital or something he looks sadly down at the floor as if he was trying to convince himself you guys hungry lets go out for pizza five little children pile up in the minivan and are driven to Happy Land Me and Thomas sit down with dad at the booth the other boys run off to the game room Thomas puts his hands on my ears and I try to remove them I hear him say she’s not coming back dad she left us. but why five little children eat until their faces are stained with pizza sauce they return home and daddy alone puts the five little children to bed wipes the tears off their cheeks and kisses them on the forehead tells them sweet dreams and that he loves them our father is left alone to raise five little children on his ownBirth sign: Aries
