like the time we were in the Sears department store and the blond clerk, bending down to stroke my hair, asked you whether I was “yours or adopted.”

“No, madam,” I said to the woman in my ESL English. “That’s my mom.
I came out her asshole and I love her very much. I am seven. Next year I
will be eight. I’m doing fine. I feel good how about you? Merry Christmas
Happy New Year.”

I have theories I write down then erase and walk away from the desk. I put the kettle on and let the sound of boiling water change my mind. What’s your theory—about anything Ma? I know if I asked you, You’d say no, theories are for people with too much time and not enough determination.

This book is so.......so.....idk it feels like a casual strolling in a kid's mind. BEAUTIFUL!

One good thing that came out of my reading experience with this book was, 4 pages into the book I got the STRONGEST urge to read everything about The Vietnam War and so i binged a LOT of documentaries and now know by heart every incident tht happened during the war.

A good history lesson. 🙂👍
