So today I found a bright shiny Penny heads up on the sidewalk so I picked it up for a good luck and I was thinking about this thing that happened when I was probably about 15 or 16.My mom had read some book and she was just sobbing at the end and she says to me, a girl consumed in teenage repulsion of my mother, “I know this comes from a book and it’s not original , but I want you to know that after I die when you look down and see a penny on the street know that that’s me telling you that I’m watching over you.”

I thought this was the most disgusting thing she could ever say to me not because it had anything to do with death but because instinctually I knew that this woman wasn’t watching over me in life so I couldn’t understand why I would find comfort thinking about her watching over me in death But you know when I found that penny today I looked to the sky and said “mom I have a lottery ticket for tonight so hook a girl up”
