Mrs. Kool Aid Wore Grape

Nancy stared at the phone praying silently for it to stop ringing. Wringing her hands relentlessly she watched with her eyes bulging from the fear that one day someone might discover, she had been a bad mother. Not currently, not with her two newest children. But to her other child , the son she had from another marriage, the son who was calling her on the phone.
It wasn't her fault she would tell herself as examined her nails , she made a mental note to make an appointment to have them done. It was one of the things she did just for herself . The room had filled with silence , it was time to go to spinning class, another one of the things Nancy did for herself. She felt like an inspiration to all of the people in her class, even though she had been going for three years, and never lost an oz of weight, she felt as if people admired her commitment.
Walking in tot he gym looking a bit like Mrs. kool-Aid in her grape colored un-itard, she ran into Ernesto and Enrique from her spinning class. "Hey !" beaming a huge smile " You guys ready for today?"
But Ernesto had bad news " Nancy, jour son was ober at my house and I tink he took something."
This was nothing new for Nancy , but she did what she always does , she runs one of her default setting responses " What do you mean, James wouldn't do that."
But Enrique agreed with Ernesto " Jes, jes he would, He is no good. No offense Nancy but he's a bery bad person."
Nancy's grape unitard began to sag as her posture began to diminish under the weight of these newest accusations about her son. Apologizing, she shuffled off into the woman's locker room. It had started , people were beginning to make the connection between bad parenting and bad people.
You did the best you could, you did the best you could, she would say to herself. In mere moments she would fine. Over the years, she had found a away to deal with these accusations , and that's all they were to her , accusations but no proof. She raised a fine human being and these people are just jealous of him.
Her confidence back Nancy pulled the grape colored wad of spandex out of her ass and went to spin class.
Her boobs started to tremble from the bass coming from the spin room, and on the other side of the glass door was everybody , Ernesto, Enrique, the girls, Lisa the dike , and Kenny the instructor.
This was her place , this is where she went to make herself feel good, It was a sanctuary , it was a safe haven , this place was just for Nancy. Breathing in a huge swell of confidence , Nancy flung the glass door open and said " Hi everybody!"
" Nancy can I talk to you, there's a problem." Nancy was shocked .
"What kind of problem , Kenny?"
But she knew what was to come next, all she had to hear were the words Son, stole , credit card, and why , and she could fill in the rest. She had heard it all so many times, she apologized and walked out of her place a deflated Mrs. Kool Aid.
But at least nobody had called her a bad mother. yet.
