@vulpuslunae : 📼📼- Send 📼 to see an early childhood memory of my muse’s

Madison’s nose was running. Sniffling, she used the sheet to wipe it, knowing Mommy wouldn’t like it and call her a dirty child, but Maddie didn't care! She was mad at her, and it was her fault she was crying, anyway, and if she weren’t crying like a big baby, her nose wouldn’t be running. Maddie's bottom lip stuck out a little as she sniffed resentfully, almost hoping there would be more snot so she could wipe her nose on the bed sheet again. It wasn’t fair that Mommy sent her to bed without dessert. She wanted to play with Uncle Reggie and eat ice cream with him just like they always did whenever he came to visit from Europe. It wasn't fair! It wasn't fair!

Tomorrow wasn’t even a school day; she had another week of Christmas vacation, and Mommy always let her stay up later on the weekends if she was a good girl and behaved at every dinner party Daddy hosted at the country club. But tonight, she’d sent her to bed before her bedtime, when Uncle Reggie came over. Now her tummy was rumbling, Uncle Reggie was upstairs with Mommy, and Mommy still wouldn’t let her stay up. She was seven years old, not a dumb baby like Beverly. It wasn’t fair! Maddie knuckled the wetness from her eyes, her heart swelling with outrage.

She always got to play with Uncle Reggie, who got down on the floor with her to play dollies with her and brought her premium boxed chocolates from France and pretty dresses to wear. Whenever Mommy fussed about it, he always said, “Now, Linda—” that was Mommy's name “—all little girls deserve to have pretty things.” Then he’d gently tug at her curls and say, “Right, sweetie?” It always made Maddie feel happy inside when Uncle Reggie called her “sweetie.” No one else did. Not even Daddy.
