“I know that a lot of the things she said shaped me into the person I am now. Some of it good, some of it bad, but that’s life in general. “Sex can be two things,” my mama told me once when I was about thirteen. “A weapon or just plain fun and relaxation, if you’ll let it. Don’t always make it such a big deal, my Lolita. Don’t let men own you because of it.” It went right along with her no kissing rule. She was what a lot of men called a promiscuous woman. My daddy met her when he hired ...her as an escort. She was nineteen and he was thirty-five. After spending one night with her, he fell madly in love with her sporadic, mysterious, impulsive character along with her beauty. One month later, they were married, and nine months later, I was born. This means, during the first month they were married, she’d had an affair with this Evan man, if the letter means what I take it to mean. I probably would have never known the real life story of my parents if it wasn’t for my mother’s sister, Aunt Glady, who told me all of this right after my mom died when I was fourteen.MoreLessRead More Read Less
