LITTLE BLACK BALLS (9) 完
Mum was standing there, still holding the jeans with goat poo stains on the pockets.
She had a soppy smile on her face. The sort of smile people have when they see someone's new baby. It was the type of smile that Mum rarely gave me any more.
" Why, Sally, " she said.
" What a lovely story. How sad. You kind girl. What a terrible time you've had. " she looked at the little black balls on the floor and the dirty jeans.
" Don't worry about the stains. Just clean up the mess and we won't say any more about it. "
I gave her a big smile and ran up to the kitchen to get a brush and dustpan.
Dad was there. He was just going to open the fridge and got a beer.
" Don't. " I screamed.
But it was too late.
He opened the fridge door.
There on the top shelf was a little mouse. Sitting up on a saucer, begging.
A dead mouse all covered in mould.
It looked lovely. As if it was a polar bear wearing a long white coat.
Dad didn't think it was lovely.
He stood there quite still.
He didn't even turn around.
He spoke slowly with a really mean voice.
" Sally, did you put this disgusting thing in the fridge ? "
He turned on me with flaming eyes.
" Come on, Sally, " said Dad.
He thrust the saucer under my nose.
" Out with it. "
I could tell that he was just about to do something silly.
Like ground me for a month.
Or stop my pocket money.
I took a deep breath and tried to think of another good story.
Fast.
