bitter bitter tea

When I was in 1st grade, my family lived in an apartment in Waukegan, IL, and I took the bus to and from school. One day on the way home, I had to pee. By the time I got off the bus, it was an emergency. I had to walk half a block to our building, then get buzzed in by my mom, then walk up a flight of stairs. I remember thinking that I should pray, because that is what I was always taught to do. BUT since this was so urgent, I needed to go BIGGER. I started imitating the people from our church who spoke in tongues, because to me, at 6 years old, that was like crazy prayer, so it had to work, right? i didn’t pee my pants that day, but I almost did just now, walking home kind of tipsy and thinking about that day. Made it to the toilet again, guys!!
