Bone’s Mom ain’t perfect—
no, not by a long shot.  

She’s not always at peak
motherhood performance.  

She sometimes
beats up on Bones,
and of course
she sleeps around
a lot.  

She’ll sometimes drink
a little too much,
that makes her unpleasant
to be around.  

Bones loves his mother dearly.  
She’s the only one he’s got.

Bobby

And mothers matter... even when they're far from perfect. *S* Well done, my friend. *S*

Thanks dear Suthern,

Yes, mothers matter a lot, more than anyone for a bad kid like me.  

Love Bobby
