small assignment

“A small assignment 01”
By Scott Garcia

I stole this from a book I am reading at the moment. I will cite the author and title at the end for now it is 4:26 in the am on March 1^st. Ok here it goes:

She was writing and explaining about keys. When she goes off on a tangent about her son, who had just received plastic handcuffs along with those plastic keys. Well her son had got himself locked out of the house. She listened and could hear him having locked himself out of the house try with his little plastic keys and say “Oh Shit!”

She sat there for a moment then got up and opened the door. “Honey I have got to stop saying that word and you should too.” “ I know mom, but do you know why I said that bad word?” “no, why?” “Because of these fucking keys!” That cracked me up and took me by surprise it also made her real, likable and well a bit like me in her view of life and use of words, humane.

The book is “Bird By Bird” by Anne Lamott “Some instructions on writing and life”
