Challenge of the Week CIX
Was that a Question? Begin your entry with a question. Perhaps it's one you know the answer to, and we too will know by the end of our reading. Perhaps it's something you barely fathom an answer for, and will ponder via the pen. You can write anything you want, so long as it begins with a question. Fiction of non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

To My Birthmom,

Why did you carry me? Mrs. Haskell tries to tell me you are a bad lady. Do you remember Mrs. Haskell? She helped you find a mommy and daddy for me. She tells me you smoked cigarettes and took medicine the doctor didn't give you, and that hurt me when I was in your belly. Mommy was upset when Mrs. Haskell said you were a bad lady. She took me aside and gave me a big hug. She told me you were human, you made mistakes, but you always loved me. I asked Mommy how she knew and she said;

"Your birthmom carried you." I have seen the news once or twice. Mommy and Daddy don't know, but sometimes after they kiss me goodnight I sneak downstairs and watch the news from behind the sofa. I know some people don't want their babies, so doctors take them from their bellies. I don't know why you kept me in your belly if you're supposed to be a bad lady. Mrs. Haskell says you gave me up, but Mommy says you gave me life. Mommy is always going to be my Mommy but you're the only one who could be my mom.

I am glad you decided to be my mom.

Even if I don't understand.

I love you.
