EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK:
Vas dis Jeopardy
My next memory was of me standing next to my mother holding her
hand.
We were
standing at the front door of a strange house, my head knee
level to my mother. My mother persistently knocked at the door
until suddenly a wild haired, wild-eyed looking woman ripped
opened the door. The frightening woman just stood there… not
saying anything. Her face was a puffy oatmeal ruin with a long
nose set in the center. Her crazy looking eyes were bright blue
with hideously painted eyebrows above the eyes. Her eyebrows had
been painted because she had plucked every last follicle out.
She had a wild messy red slash of lipstick over her gapping
ruinous mouth.
Many years
later as I was watching Saturday Night Live, the comedian Dave
Hartman was doing a skit called “Vas dis Jeopardy” and in this
skit he was wearing a blond wig with pig-tails and a messy red
slash of lipstick. Seeing this skit brought both laughter and
chills. He was playing the part of a very mannish looking
he-she. He looked much like the woman who had tore opened the
door the frightful day. Anyway, my mother made it apparent that
she wanted to leave me with this witchy looking woman. I was
terrified.
I felt that for
some reason unknown to me my mother wanted to get rid of me.
(Those damn abandonment issues again!). I went into a fit of
screaming and hugging my mother’s leg for dear life. She
struggled hard to pull me off her leg.
I was like a leach on
a hapless swimmer; the effort brought her to anger.
She promptly gave me
a generous spanking before leaving me with the woman. My memory
fades….
Many years
later, I asked my mother about the incident and she told me that
this incident happen during the first week we had moved into the
neighborhood. Mom decided that it would be best to introduce her
self to all of the neighbors in the immediate vicinity. These
neighbors suggested a picnic. Apparently, Mrs. Huggins was the
only one available to watch me, so that my mother could go
shopping for the picnic stuff.
I sure was
terrified! What will life bring next?
