I spent 45 minutes with this and by the time I finished I figured that it didn't fit into the whole thing! It was a little to happy and really messed up the seriousness of the sinario I was working with.
It's a flashback with one of my role play characters Keith Chiyu and his mom, who is now dead, Abigale Chiyu. Enjoy! ^^
"I like weird." said Abigale, folding up some clothes.
"What? No, mom, that's not what I said." Keith had a pair of boxers that he set onto the floor next to him and looked up his mother on the coach.
Abigale placed a freshly folded shirt to the side. "Alright, then, correct me if I'm wrong." she stopped folding and took the hair tie from her ponytail, letting her red curly locks fall. "You and your girl ... who you 'claim'" she flexed her middle and index finger up and down as she said the word. "-you don't like-"
"I DON'T LIKE HER MOM!" protested the boy.
Abigale flopped her hand around making a funny voice. "'I don't like her mom!'" Abigale laughed. "Give it a rest, sweetpea, you're in fourth grade." she inspected the pair of pants and folded them. "You were bound to have a crush sooner-or-later. These's are your father's." She tossed the pair of jeans to Keith. who mumbled under his breath and put them in the pile of clothes for Kumo.
"Anyway, you and that girl, Terra wasn't it? But anyway- you two walked home together... aw that's so sweet!"
"MOOOM!"
"Alright, alright!" Abigale pulled her hair back and as she spoke tied her hair up again to keep the hair out of her face. "So you stopped here and your father walked outside in... clown shoes you said?" Keith nodded. "Ok, and then she laughed at him and went home."
"Dad's so weird! Why can't he be like everyone else's dad? He dresses funny, he doesn't work! And he talks funny!"
"For your information, you're father is a novelist. And he was wearing clown shoes because our neighbor's couldn't afford a clown for their girl's birthday party so you're dad was kind enough to help them out. And his accent doesn't mean he talks funny, he's Japanese and since he comes from another country he has a native dialect. And like I said before, I like weird.
"'To be weird is to be normal and to be normal is to be weird.' No one's really normal, because we've all got our quirks, and life is more fun that way." Abigale looked down. "Now would you really want dad to be normal? Go work in an office, never see you, wear a suit that he doesn't like and talk like anyone else? Think about it. No more story ideas to talk about at dinner, no more impression of other people." Abigale tossed Keith a pair of red and yellow duck socks. "And God knows that folding wouldn't be easy, we wouldn't be able to tell my socks from his!"
Keith laughed and thought for a bit. he simply smiled to his mom, to tell her that he got the point.

I could actually feel the mood of that memory o.o It choked me up, Seriously.
When I read about Kumo and the clown shoes crying I almost cried, it's so sweet!
Shame on Keith for thinking his Father's weird, I'd die for a Father like his.. even if he imaginary >.>
