Momma

Teddy’s Momma’s got brown hair, very smooth and silky, and sometimes Gramma lets him brush it, standing on a stool, long, careful strokes through the fineness. Momma sits very still and smiles at him when he does it, and Teddy thinks that she is the most beautiful thing in the whole world.

Next, Daddy comes home. He’s been away a long time, and he swings Teddy into the air, strong hands crushing small ribs, and it’s scary and exciting and Teddy pees himself. Daddy drops him bump and goes into the kitchen. He stays there all night and smells like Christmas. He’s got spit on his chin when he sleeps and looks funny.

Next Momma goes away. Gramma takes her away in Daddy’s red pickup truck with all the dust and Teddy’s finger marks on. Teddy screams, because Momma never leaves the house, and Gramma shouts at him to get inside, but Momma just smiles her beautiful smile.

Much later. Teddy is bigger. He hides in his cupboard after Daddy takes the strap to him again for no good reason that Teddy can see. Gramma and Daddy are fighting in the kitchen, and Teddy thinks that word he hears Daddy call him all the time, ‘bastard, bastard, bastard’. Daddy goes out. Teddy comes into the kitchen and Gramma fixes him a sandwich with shaky hands.

Next Daddy comes back with a funny looking woman, all flat face and lopsided grin. Daddy laughs when Teddy hides behind Gramma and asks who she is. He asks if Teddy’s too dumb to even remember his own mother. Teddy starts crying because inside him there’s a ripping sound, and she isn’t his Momma because Momma is beautiful, and her smile is for him and is special, and this is a retard standing in front of him, a freak, but that picture that he had of her in his head is sort of warping and fitting over her face and making him think that maybe it is her…

Next he lies in bed and tries not to listen to his Momma crying and his Daddy moaning like he’s hurt bad and his Daddy’s bed banging against the wall like there’s a monster trying to get into his room.

Gramma takes Momma away the next day, and Gramma doesn’t come back for a week. Daddy laughs and tells Teddy to sit on his lap, but now Teddy knows the difference between Christmas and drunk, and hides in the woods until Daddy falls asleep.
