The Black Wig

Dreams coming true or a true dream.....

The Black Wig

If I knew my day was going to start as it did, I would've definitely passed on drinking last night! I'll start at the beginning of this whole ordeal.....practicing in front of the mirror. I was cast as the lead in Romeo & Juliet, and I was not only practicing my lines I was practicing Juliets' aswell. Well hey...they say all good actors learn and practice all the lines, so why not!? So there I am in the mirror saying "Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo!" Then all of a sudden... "Daylon! Daylon! Come here right now!" inside I'm thinking "Oh lord did they find the stiletto red bottom pumps I've been hiding? 'Cause Lord today isn't the day to come out of the closet." Walking with masculinity in viewpoint I walk into the family room and go "Yes mother?" Then she goes "Don't play silly! You are supposed to go get all of the stuff out of the attic and set it outside for trash pick up!" Inside I am so relieved I simply forgot about taking out the trash. No coming out of the closet and dealing with that conversation a little while longer whew! Little did I know I was about to be in little "fairy-boy" Heaven. Once I arrived to the attic I started opening the boxes before I took them out to the trash. If I know my mother anything important stays so I begin to look through everything. Then I found it, it was a regular U-Haul moving box that looked brand new. I opened it and sitting on top was this little black book. So what else was I going to do, not read it? So I began reading it and what I read absolutely floored me. It was just a friendly letter address to me. It read:

"Little Daylon,

I found your red bottom stiletto pumps HAHA! I knew you are gay you can't hide from your mother! Well how about this I wont tell your father. I did tell him I'm buying you a car though, so go get whatever car you want, pay the taxes, and get whatever in the world you want to get to wear. You can hide everything up here! Also, I've spoke to your grand mother and she left some gifts. Remember no matter what we will always love you!

Love,

MOM!

So I began to look through the box. I found a little black wig, bird feather ear rings, rainbow bellbottom pants, a way cool photo album with pictures of my family younger, and there it was. Fifty thousand dollars in cash...cold hard cash!

So I ran downstairs and gave my mom the biggest hug in tears and said "Thank you so much mom! I love you!" She wiped my tears and said "Son I love you too!"

I then ran upstairs and called my best friend. She answered "Hello?" then I said "Bestie you will not believe this!". She goes "What happened the sound of that weird Pokemon song has finally stopped playing in your head?" I burst out laughing then say "Well, actually no, but aside from that I have incredible news! My mom totally gave me $50,000 in cash and told me to go buy a car!" She begins to scream so loud in my ear I had to pull the phone away from my head. "Seriously Day Day!?" and I go "No....yes seriously Im on my way. For the last time on the bus. AHHHHHHHH" then obviously I began screaming aswell. Eventually screaming began boring in comparison to getting a new car so I arrived to my best friends' house with $50,ooo in cash in a bookbag. I was so calm on the bus it amazed me, but that much money and getting mugged was not what I wanted to happen!

I arrived to her bedroom and opened the bookbag, and she then slaps me on my arm. "Shut up! You weren't lying!" I said "I told you! Lets go ill give your mom $200 to take us because I don't want to go alone....well with just you on the bus with all this cash!" She laughs and says "What does that mean? You don't think I'm strong enough to take on some little muggers?" I say "Maybe your infatuation with Philip is strong enough to, but not your physical strength!" We start laughing and then went to the main level of her house. She asked her mom to take us to the car lot and she did.

We arrived at the ford car lot, and I went directly to the mustangs. I got a brand new orange mustang, and paid the insurance all off for 6 months. My best friend asks "Bestie so what are we going to do now?" I respond with "Well what do you want to do? I want to get you something where do you want to go?' She screams and go "Ahhhhh where do I want to go?" I look at her laughing and say "Y....e.....s...." so we arrive at the mall and go shopping. After racking up like $3,000 worth of Hollister & Co. and Banana Republic we decided to return to her house.

"Wow Day Day Im really shocked we did all of this this today!" she said. I responded "Your shocked!? Im still at my house in the attic reading the letter." We begin laughing and then I begin yawning. "Ok I think its about time I start heading to the house. I do not want to drive sleepy and get into an accident my first night!" She responds "Okay bestie, and thanks for everything you are awesome-sauce!" I respond "No worries bestie you are awesome-sauce."

I begin to pull up to the house and I hear.....

"Daylon! Daylon! Wake up!"

I say....

"What?"

"Daylon get up it is time for school and you are in the school play!"

No flippin way! It was a dream....it was just a dream.....
