Let me tell you, her hugging me right then was the right thing to do because inside I wanted to jump to my feet and run away! Having her hug me, canceled out all feelings of flight and then some! Heck I bet that if I hadn’t had my shoes on, my toes would have shot off the end of my feet because they were tingling like crazy!
Unfortunately Jacquelyn wasn’t the only one that over heard my mom’s conversation and within minutes all seven of her brothers knew my deep, dark secret.
They started teasing me and saying things like, “I don’t want the little baby sleeping in my room!” and “He should have to sleep in the bathtub!” and worst of all, “Since he’s not house broken I bet Mom will make him sleep outside in the dog house!”
