chapter five

It was a normal day. The same thing of having to get on the boy about doing his chores and as usual he disappoints me. I don’t know why I let him get me so worked up. Today was different though. When I was scolding the boy Russell held tight to my leg. It was an accident I never intended to hurt him that bad, but I could tell he was mocking me in the way he stood there. I knife slipped, and the thrash wasn’t even that bad. I really think he over reacted falling to the ground and fainting and what not though. I couldn’t just let him bleed every where so I had to get him bandaged up before he ruined everything. I definitely was letting him out of doing his chores, I told him he had thirty minutes to get the kitchen done to put a little pressure on him. I know he took and hour and a half to finish though, he better just be glad I’m a GOOD mother.
