A Step Mother's Needs - Brianna Beach

Thanks.

How'd you do on your math test?

Um...

I think it went pretty good. I'm pretty sure.

You think? I mean, you studied, right?

Yes. Yeah, I studied a lot.

Okay.

Well, then why don't you know?

'Cause I'm not good at math.

I mean, I think it went good. I'm pretty sure.

Even though it's not your best, you've still gotta try, you know?

Yeah, I know. I'm trying, mom.

Ugh.

I'm sore.

So my trainer, he's been, uh...

He's been really working me out pretty good.

That's good.

So how do you think I am?

How do you think your mom looks?

You look really good, mom.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sore, though.

Why don't you give me one of those nice massages you do so well?

Oh, okay.

You know your dad said he's gonna be late again.

Oh, yeah?

It's always something.

I need him to pick up some things from the store and his way home for dinner.

That feels really good.

It's a good thing I brought you around to do these kinds of things.

Your dad never gives me a massage.

I always like helping you, mom.

You're such a good boy.

All right.

Well, I guess somebody's gotta put food on the table.

So maybe I should hop in the shower and get dinner going.

All right?

Okay.

Hey, listen.
