It was a very stormy morning. Aunt Mabel and I were sound asleep on the hard cold bed and it was 5 a.m. in the morning. And as it was five in the morning the alarm went off and aunt Mabel woke up with a loud yawn and said to me "wake up, sunshine! Today is a brand new day and I want you to get up out the bed and get ready to take on the day!"
As you know, I am autistic and I have aspergers syndrome and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.
Mabel started scrambling eggs and bland plain grits without sugar, cheese and butter. I was not in the mood to act like a baby.
Kearney, come here, right now! yelled Mabel. I need to talk to you. I--
Words had let down my aunt as there was a loud thud-like knock on the door.
Who is it, hollered my aunt.
It is Kearneys grandmother!
Mabel opened the door and my grandma had two big white bags full of goodies.
My grandma says I got something for you Kearney, said grandma kindly. Here you go. Me and my aunt both received a bunch of sweets from a bakery she went to in Mott haven, Bronx.
Give me hug, Kearney! Smiled my grandma.
Susie! That is nice but I don't need it. I don't want sweets I wanted to talk to Kearney but I guess we can have a three-way, says Mabel.
I am hungry aunty I am angry because my stomach is growling, I say. So! What is it now susie, I am cooking, says Mabel.
I don't want the sweets I want breakfast! I whined
Aye aye yells aunt Mabel. Shut your mouth! This is my house, my rules. Here's the thing: I want you Mr. Smith to shut up and listen because you complaining won't change anything.
Okay what's on your mind, Mabel?
I have a midlife crisis!
Really Mabel! I called you and did something for you and yet you refuse! You are a hag!
Listen Susie! I am not gonna argue with you but I will not be intimidated--
I scream, shut the fuck up, bitches.
Hey, little boy watch your mouth. Calm down! Better than that eat your breakfast and go back to sleep. Go back into the master bedroom. I will beat you with your toy bat. Me and Susie got other issues to talk about.
How is chris, I heard he just lost $19000.
Well I don't think of Chris as my hero. Chris is not my hero, never was never will. I consider Chris to be a bum!
Huh! What!? Says Mabel.
I told Chris after he was detained that he will not amount to nothing. He doesn't have a pot to piss in or a roof over his head a job or food to nourish his monkey looking ass. I don't give a damn about Chris because I put him in the hands of god. Anyway, Kearney stop crying or I will get my belt!
Susie you were a bad parent to Chris but Kearneys mother is finishing college and once she finishes college Kearney can get the fuck out of my house because all that screaming is giving me a headache says Mabel in a sarcastic tone.
Wash hic waahhh! Kearney wailed.
Susie that's it, I am getting my belt. If you don't stop screaming I am gonna give you a beating.
Susie grabs a large hulkamania belt and starts to beat me.
Mabel screams, stop, you're hurting him. Stop. STOP! STOP IT!
Fuck off Mabel! Cuz I am just getting started. Kearney is nothing but a cry baby! I am finished with you so now I will leave and get ready to work at that hospital near kingsbridge and Fordham in the Bronx. Goodbye Mabel.
Susie leaves. Breakfast is completed and Kearney stops crying.
Kearney come eat and say your grace.
Kearney was too depressed to say anything. Mabel turned on the tv and hell news happened to be on and this seventy-something old god-look like says:
Today is the first day of this broadcast. I am John utman and my colleague and best friend Henry Collins is going to take hell news to uncharted territory and now let's get down to business. A report--
A bell started ringing very loudly playing a lullaby like tune as Mabel turned off the tv a split second after the bell came upon chiming.
Mabel growled and grunted saying with a nasty attitude, who is it?
It is mom, Kearneys mom.
You've come to take Kearney home?
Yeah if you may please open the door I just came from night school in long island.
Kearney ran to mommy and started crying mommy I missed you, where have you been?
I was at school! I am finishing up school and once I finish this semester I will spend more time with you, I will buy you a computer but oh my gosh it's super cold outside. Mabel where's Kearneys clothes?
Kearney changed his clothes and was very excited about getting a new computer. Now Kearney if you want this computer that I ordered for you online on ebay, you won't know what eBay is but I want you to be on your best behavior and do everything Mabel your aunt says about you and I will get you your computer. Let's go home to your grumpy grandmother.
After we got home, grandma teased her sweets at Kearney and mom said don't do that mom! Kearney doesn't need any sugar and fattening.
Look kearney, I was watching hell news when I was home in here and John and Henry were talking about Kearney had a crush on Jim Carrey. Plus, I got the vhs tape of a movie you wanted to see ms Smith called ace Ventura the detective! How about it? What do you say?
Mom! I saw that movie yesterday!
