[the_muses_stage] 23 - Nothing But The Truth
(Daddy is jstliketherifle, Mommy is failuretotrust, and Uncle Will is train_ofthought. A child's view on the world, if you will.)
"Truth is more of a stranger than fiction." - Mark Twain
A long time ago, when I was little...like...six...we did a concert at my school. We sang songs and stuff. My grade sang one song, and it went like, "All you need is love, all you need is love love, love is all you need..." And like that. My teacher? She said it's about loving everyone and being nice to everyone. I like that song.
I started singing it at bath time tonight. Mommy was washing my hair and she asked me why I was singing it, and I said it was because Uncle Will said love is what matters. Well, he's not my uncle, he's Will. But he said that. And she asked why, and I told her.
Cuz Daddy was telling me that sometimes boys dress up like girls, because they want to be a girl more than being a boy. Because God made them the wrong way. Well...I don't think God made them the wrong way, He just....okay, I think it's like this. When I'm playing a puzzle? And it's almost done, and I know the pieces don't really fit right, but I don't want to do it alllll over again, so I just jam them into place. And it looks weird, and it isn't right, but it's done. And I think that's what God did. He just didn't put the right pieces together.
Anyways, Daddy also said that boys can marry boys. But cuz they can't make babies, they adopt. And Uncle Will said they just have two daddies. Or two mommies. And he said that it doesn't really matter, just long as people love each other.
Just like Mommy and Daddy? They love each other, I think, but they aren't married. Daddy always says they will one day, and sometimes I used to wish they just would so we wouldn't be weird anymore, but I think it's okay now. Because Daddy loves me and he loves Mommy. And Mommy loves me and she usually loves Daddy.
And I think it's okay that we're different. And like, if Daddy was a girl and Mommy still loved him, that would be okay too. I should tell Daddy that. I think he's okay being a boy and loving girls though. And I think Mommy likes being a girl and loving boys. Even though sometimes they fight and Mommy yells she's just gonna go see Amy to get what she needs. I don't know who that is, and I don't know what Mommy needs. They don't know when I listen to those fights. Even though they fight like that, they love each other and that is important.
I think I always knew that that is what matters, but I didn't really think about it til today. Cuz the man on TV that looked like a girl, he's just like me or Daddy or Mommy. And people love him...or her...I don't know. Daddy said his name was Boy George, but he looked like a girl, so I'm still confused about that. But even Boy George is allowed to be loved, like everyone else. And people that are different colors or believe different things or are from different countries should all just remember that love is what matters. Maybe then there wouldn't be so many fights and wars. And maybe Mommy wouldn't have to go to work all the time and be gone for a long looooong time, and maybe all the demons would go away and Daddy could be home all the time.
I think I'd like the world like that.
So I told Mommy that's why I was singing the song. Because it made me think about loving everyone the same. And know what? She gave me a big hug, even though I was all wet, and then we sang the song together. Then Daddy yelled up that she should teach me Death Lepers. I don't know what that is, but I like my song.
