An Aside-Legs Wide Shut
“I believe in miracles, where you from? You sexy thang…”my mother sang loudly with the song on the radio.
We were on the last leg of our drive back from a shopping trip in Buffalo and I was cranky and tired.
“You know you were never ever as hot as me, when I was young,” my mother proclaimed.
“Huh, huh,” I answered.
Ava, sitting in the passenger seat, looked nervously over to me with a smile. I smiled back.
“This reminds me of the time when I wore my Afro and my short mini dresses. My legs looked neat! And you know what I would do with my legs?” she asked.
“Keep them opened?” I responded.
The mother sucked her teeth.
Ava laughed and laughed and laughed.
