Mommy and Me
PROLOGUE:
We run cause we're scared, we lie cause it hurts
Hi, my name is Cameron Benjamin Keith Mars Echolls, I know it's a long name…I guess my mommy was a bit unsure of what to call me. I'm 4 years old.
My mommy is the coolest person in the whole wide world. She lets me have ice cream for dinner and french toast for breakfast. She makes very good cakes and cookies, my favorite is her Cheewy Street, she says it was my daddy's favorite as well. She's not very good at making dinner though, my aunt Raven said not to tell her because it would hurt her feelings, so I just close my nose and eat the burned leftover chicken, at least she's happy.
I have a daddy somewhere, mommy said he's not with cause he was scared. She said it's like I'm afraid of monsters so I run away from my bedroom and go to momma's and he was scared of something called commitment so he left. I guess it doesn't make it fair of me to dislike me, we all run away when we're scared.
My aunt Raven is very funny, she is 16 and she goes to High School, she has lots of boyfriends. We're not very rich so I never have games, kids at school make fun of me because of that. I don't like it.
Aunt Raven says my daddy has a lot of money so if he comes back I can have a soccer ball. It's Christmas now and on my Santa Clause list I asked for Momma to be happy and Daddy to come home. I really wish Santa gets my letter. I've been a good boy. I just lie sometimes about momma's food and Raven's hairstyles, but the truth hurts so we all lie.
