But Is Your Mom A Lesbian???
A friend of mine (shakira) asked me and my horse (handsome) to help her younger horse through the creek (sometimes horses need a friend, being a herding type) so we walked down with them. She is an instructor at the barn and is teaching a summer camp.
A seperated mother showed up on her child's first day of camp because she had the riding clothes, although the father had the child for the weekend. The father showed up at the same time and bolted out of the barn.
It got sorted out and the little 6 year old got to be at camp, but Shakira was really upset about it. She has 3 children with her first husband so it's hard for her to understand...
Shakira: "She (the child) never smiles or laughs or has fun and she's only 6. Her mom tells me she is seeing a psychologist."
Me: "I had to see a psychologist when my parents where divorcing. I was 8 I think, maybe ten. I hated it. Went every time protesting, and when the person tried to talk to me I wouldn't say a thing, not a thing, just stare at the wall. I wouldn't see a therapist again until I was 24, and glad I did. But at that age, I think it's confusing and useless... Or I got a shitty therapist or they are better now with kids."
Shakira: "Yea, but she's just a kid, couldn't she just have fun at the barn when she doesn't have to think about that stuff?"
Me: "No, doesn't work that way when you are a kid. I would hide, not talk to anyone for days, because I was so upset. Either about my parents or about the therapist, or about... Doesn't matter what they buy you or what other stranger they bring into your life. Hopefully she'll turn it around or something will happen and she will become the happy-go-lucky, party starter woman that I am..." (giggles and all)
Shakira: "But is your mom a lesbian too?"
