“That don’t sound right to me,” he said, when I told him what had happened when I’d stayed with my mother for the weekend. “Keeping your mum locked up like a dog.” I shrugged. “But she was mad.” “Don’t sound right to me,” he repeated, and I felt uncomfortable. I regretted telling him anything. “Auntie Georgia says men should respect women. She says my mum wouldn’t have turned so bad if she’d been respected by her dad and her brothers.”
Glad auntie raising the boy right!
