Return to SillyLeslie's blog

Huge Kate

Kate was enormous to my six year old eyes. She towered above me. I thought she was six feet tall and six feet wide. She had short dark hair and wild eyes. None of the other kids would go anywhere near her. The little assholes made fun of her because they feared her. I was intrigued as I passed by each day going to and from school. I wondered why she did not go to school.

Her mother hovered nearby, always. Kate was allowed to play near her patio; her mother stepped out to check on her every quarter hour. The day I approached that patio, Kate was sitting cross-legged, playing jacks. I sat down to play (I kicked her ass). Kate was smiling when her mother rushed out with a surprised expression.

You're playing jacks with Kate? she said. Her mother surveyed me, and I saw that distinct look of utter joy cross her face. What's your name? she asked. I'm Deborah, Kate's friend. Kate continued to pick up jacks. Her mother leaned over, placed her hands on her knees, she said Do you like kool-aide, Deborah? Would you like some grape kool-aide?

Grape kool-aide is the best! I answered. Huge Kate grinned. Her mother rushed inside to get our refreshments.

Kate continued to play jacks. Her mother beamed as I gathered my things to leave.

Kate's mother asked if I would stop by again, and I told her I would come by each day after school.

It is so like you to choose your friends without being swayed by the opinions of others. I love that you beat Kate at jacks, i.e. that you didn't show condescension by letting her win.

@ LS & SR - Thanx for reading and taking time to comment. I wasn't planning a sequel to this little snippet. I stopped to visit with Kate each day after school for quite awhile, not much else to add.
