Lean On Me

My family always makes me feel better when I'm having a bad day.

Remember how I crashed my car? It's totaled. After my manager made me cry today because it was our last shift together before my transfer to another department, I had to go clean out my car so the insurance company can total it.

I cried for a while. I had so many good memories in that car.

I came home and I just wanted to talk to my mom. "Daddy, where's Mum?" I asked.

"She's sleeping. Go wake her up," he responded.

I entered my parent's room, where I found my mother snoring. I quietly said, "Mum, it's past 5:00, you need to wake up."

Mommie Dearest, still half-asleep, started to stir and announced, "I was watching the 5:00 news..."

That's when I looked at the TV. "Mum," I started. "You're watching BET."
