| I was probably 9 or so, give-or-take a few years. I was at some kind of dinner party or get-together at a family friend's house. I was the only young boy around, so I was bored. I decided to go look for my mother, and walked into the backyard, where a group of youngish women were standing around gossiping and drinking wine. For the record, at this time I was much shorter than my mother. I ambled into the middle of the group of women and wrapped my arms around my mother's leg, right around the upper thigh. Or at least, I thought it was my mother's leg. To be fair, most of the women were wearing faded blue jeans, and I was about half the height of all the woman, and didn't think to look up to verify that the woman whose leg I was gripping was actually my mother. I heard, "Wrong mom!" and looked up to see some woman I had never met before. Then all the pink-faced mothers standing around sipping their wine enjoyed a hearty laugh at my expense. And I blushed and let go. I may have started crying, but I can't remember. I like to think that I didn't, and rather than letting go, I instead squeezed tighter and said, "No, this is exactly the mother I want." But that would have been weird. Cause I was 9. | |

| What if the woman had gotten angry instead of amused? | |

| What if this woman was deluded and ended up taking your mistake as a sign of your love for her and had kidnapped you? | |

| What if your mother and the wrong mother had decided that they were both your mother, then had an epic battle to the death to determine true ownership? | |

| What if you decided that you liked the feel of this mother's leg, and determinedly grasped it for the remainder of her life? | |

| What if Home was a condo on the fifteenth floor of a filing cabinet for widows and young professionals. The walls were solid concrete. A foot of concrete is important when your next-door neighbor lets their hearing aid go and have to watch game-shows at full volume. Or when a volcanic blast of debris that used to be your furniture and personal effects blows out of your floor-to-ceiling windows and sails flaming into the night. I suppose these things happen. | |
