Bette placed a piece on Angie’s plate. Angelica mouthed a mumbling thanks and the dinner had begun, all the
while Tina went on a rampage explaining the imprtance of this rite of passage. Angelica just ate her food quietly
and stuffd her mouth full of food and cake so she wouldnt be forced to say anytihng. Bette was on cloud nine but
was a little concerned with angleica’s silence, maybe the thing she said last time the one about knocking her teeth
out wasn’t a good idea…it came out suddenly and Bett had immediantly regretted saying that. god was she such
a bad parent. she was so full of love it was detrimental. so detrimentla in fact she didnt pick up on the distress signals
Angelica was throwing at her. Angie had been glancing at Bette the entire evening, she gave off a ffear stink but
pride was ***** with her head…she was a godamn kickboxer man…no white cracker ***** wasp was going to
intimidate her. Still the whole thing creeped her out and made her sweat. she wasn’t even listening to Tina who was
asking her a question. Again she asked her and again. Bette looked at Angelica while chewing her food. Tina reached
over and poked Angie in the shoulder, at that she snapped. angelica pushed T’s hand away and stood up yelling “THIS
IS SO STUPID WHY ARE WE CELEBRATING BLEEDING MAN I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING I DO I PUT UNDER A MICROSCOPE
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE…PLEASE!” with that she left sobbing in the room. Bette swallowe after  about a minute. Tina exhaled….”this is getting out of hand
Bette, i swear im going to strangle that brat on of these days” Bette reached over and rubbed Tina’s back “T think about it she just had her
period and she’s starting high school tommorrow…but yeah she needs to learn not to hold her emotions in so much, did
you see her during dinner? not a peep an ddsweating like she was trying not tot alk” Tina nodded, she was willing
to let this one go…but  tommorrow after school Tina was going to bring Angie to the soup kitchens and the homeless shelters
and pratically rub her face in the streets and make her see feel and smell the horror of having abosolutely nothing. And no more
mrs. nice mom…Tina was going to crack donw. Bette agreed, she felt a weight but agreed that she too had to crack donw.

 Bette stood up..”here T i’ll help you do the dishes and clean up” Tina stood up but immediantly fell back, falling
off her chair…Bette rushed down to her side holding her steadying her…”tina was it it?!?”  “oh notihng Bette i just just feel so
tired and legs just buckled….the strangest thing but im ok now im ok” Bett helped her up, and both of them cleaned the kitchen till
it was spotless.
