A Little Birdie Told Me |
Niadeka tiptoes past her mother, who is lying on the couch snoring loudly. As she is about to enter her bedroom, she hears her name. "Niadeka!" Startled, she jumps in fright. Turning around quickly, Niadeka discovers that her mother is wide awake. In fact, her mother is standing with hand akimbo; and she has a mystical look. Niadeka stares at her mother. "What you looking at me like that for? I mussy have buckas, hey?" her mother asks. "No ma'am," Niadeka answers softly. She is too polite for words. "Where you comin' from this hour of the night?" "I been to choir practice. Then a group of us went for pizza," Niadeka responds. "Choir practice? Pizza? You think I born big as I is or I was born yesterday?" Exasperated, Niadeka is ready to walk away; but she knows better. She does not want to stir up hell or make hell rise in her mother. "You don't trust me," Niadeka begins; but she is cut short. "Trust you? Yes, I trust you; but not anymore. Tonight, a little birdie saw you snatch up with someone on the beach What you was doin' on the beach this time of night?" "Marchello and I was only talking; and then it got cold so..." "So you let Marchello take you for a jenny and ride you. All I have to say is everyday the bucket go in the well; one day the bottom goin' fall out. Where yer catch yer cold, that where yer goin' blow yer nose!" "But, we weren't doin' nuttin,'" Niadeka insisted. "Chile, eyewinker was here before beard. Anyhow,time will tell. Then every tub goin' have ter stand on he own bottom." Niadeka protested; but her protests fell on deaf ears. Disgusted, Niadeka promised herself that she would find the little birdie and give her a piece of her mind, even if she had to lose her religion. |
