A Phone call...

Setting: In kitchen at brother's birthday dinner. Mom and brother are present when cell phone rings. Spider looks at caller ID in disust and clicks it on.

Spider: "Yes, Mona."

Mona's voice on phone: "Spider It's Mona you aren't gonna belive this."

Spider: "You're probably right but go ahead."

Mona: "Do you remember when I had to go to the dr. for my eyes on Friday and I couldn't come to work? Well they gave me something for it and it feels better but the next day the police came to my house to arrest me."

Spider: "And why did the police want to arrest you?"

Mona: "I don't know. My baby's daddy called them to have them arrest me. But when they got to the house I was there alone with the baby so they couldn't take me in because there was no one to watch my son. So I asked if I could take him to my grandparents to watch my son and they said ok but I had to turn myself in by 9:30 or they'd come looking for me that night and I said ok. So I dropped my baby off at his my grandma's and then I went to the police station and just as I got there all the cars were leaving cuz I guess there was this big fight or something so they all left. And then I sat there for like 3 hours and the guy there told me I should just leave cuz the guy I had to see was on deck whatever that means and that I should just come back tomorrow so I went out instead because I didn't have my baby cuz he was at my his grandmothers and I was really really mad because I thought I was going to go to jail and i called up Mischa bugging out on him and stuff and so I got my friend and we went out cuz I was still mad. And we were drinking downtown and she slipped on a step or something and she fell but when she did there was a beer bottle and she fell but she pulled me down with her and my hand landed right on the bottle and it cut my hand so bad. And it was bleeding everywhere and I was like 'Oh my God!' and then I went back to the hospital. But I didn't want to wait so I left and I went home. And then the next day I went back to the police station and they told me to come back today at 6:30 and I woke up today and I don't know what to do my hand hurts really really bad and I can't move it.

Spider: "So the moral of this story is you won't be at work tonight?"

Mona: "No. The moral of this story is I want to work tonight cuz I need the money but I got to go to the police station and I can't hold the pole with my left hand I think there may be glass in there still cuz I can't move it and its all swollen and stuff and I don't know what do you think I should do?"

Spider: "I think you should probably see a dr. What if you have nerve damage and can never move your hand again? Or what if there is still glass in it? I would think you may want to have them look at that."

Mona: "I know but I don't want them to wrap it up cuz then I can't work and i really want to work and it looks kinda bad but its just cut up it isn't bleeding anymore. And I really need to work. What should I do?"

Spider: "I think you should call me back when I have a pen so I can take notes."

Mona: "So can I work tonight after I get done at the police and the hospital?"

Spider: "Why don't you call me after you are done and then we can decide what to do? Good luck with the hospital and the police."

Mona: "Ok Spider, thank you. I'll talk to you later OK?"

Spider: "Ok... Bye bye."

Spider hangs up phone and goes back to eating.

Mom: "You were rude to her."

Spider: "Yep."
