I go over to Tammy's house. I walk in and she looks at me shocked. She says, " What are you doing here?"

" You told my fucking parents where I am staying?"

" They said they just wanted to talk."

" Yeah talk about getting me fucking help! You are a bitch for telling them! I don't even want to fucking see you right now!"

" Then leave!"

I walk out and slam her door.

Dylen hasn't been acting ok since my parents. Wendy made him an appointment but she is at work so I have to take him by myself.

We walk in and they take him right back. The doc comes in and checks him out. After he is done he says, " I'm sorry but Dylen has to get x-rays done but I can do that now."

I nod and we walk back to the room. He has me hold Dylen. They take some x-rays and send us back to the other room. In five minutes the doc is walking in. He says, " Dylen has a broken ulna. The ulna is the small bone of the arm. He will have to get a cast which we can also do now."

I nod and he gets his measurements. He walks out and the nurse comes back with the molding. I am still holding Dylen so it makes it easy for her. After ten minutes we are leaving.

****

When Wendy gets home the other two kids aren't home yet. I am crying. She walks up to me and hugs me. She looks at Dylen and sees the cast. She says, " What is broken?"

" His ulna and it is all my fault."

" No hunny it isn't. It is your crazy mom's fault. I have never liked that woman and never will. Now stop crying."

She wipes my tears away and kisses me. We hold Dylen in our arms.

****

The next day Dylen is having tummy time and the other kids are sitting with me. Lucy and Reese says, " We want to dance."

" Ok I will put a song on."

I pick up Dylen and pick a song. When it starts Reese rolls his eyes. He says, " You two have fun with that song."

("No country music was harmed in the making of this song, this is only a test-t-t.")

Well, I wish I had some shoes on my two bare feet

And it's gettin' kinda cold in these painted on cut-off jeans

I hate the way this bikini top chafes

Lucy and I nod.

Do I really have to wear it all day? (Yeah, baby)

We nod our heads.

I hear you over there on your tailgate whistlin'[whistle]

Reese whistles and we shake our heads.

Sayin', "Hey girl." ("Hey, girl.")
But you know I ain't listenin'

We put a hand up to our ear.

'Cause I got a name
And to you it ain't "pretty little thing", "hottie" or "baby"

We shake our head again. Reese starts tapping his foot.

Yeah it's drivin' me red-red-red-red-red-red-redneck crazy

We make the cra cra sign. Reese gets Dylen out of my hands because I have had him dancing with us.

Bein' the girl in a country song
How in the world did it go so wrong?

Like all we're good for
Is looking good for you and your friends on the weekend
Nothing more

We shake our fingers at the boys.

We used to get a little respect
Now we're lucky if we even get
To climb up in your truck, keep our mouth shut and ride along
And be the girl in a country song

We yell the last part.

Well, shakin' my moneymaker ain't ever made me a dime

We shake our heads again.

And there ain't no sugar for you in this shaker of mine

We shake our fingers at the boys again.

Tell me one more time, "you gotta get you some of that"

Sure I'll slide on over, but you're gonna get slapped (Hah!)
These days it ain't easy being that

We act like we are slapping someone.

Girl in a country song
How in the world did it go so wrong?

Like all we're good for
Is looking good for you and your friends on the weekend

We point at Reese. He gets up and decides to dance.

Nothing more

We used to get a little respect
Now we're lucky if we even get
To climb up in your truck, keep our mouth shut and ride along
And be the girl in a country song (Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby)

Aww no, Conway and George Strait
Never did it this way

We all shake our heads even Dylen.

Back in the old days
Aww y'all, we ain't a cliché
That ain't no way
To treat a lady

We all shake our fingers.

.like a girl in a country song
How in the world did it go so wrong?

Reese sings that part really loud and we laugh.

Like all we're good for
Is looking good for you and your friends on the weekend

We all point.

Nothing more

We used to get a little respect
Now we're lucky if we even get
To climb up in your truck, keep our mouth shut and ride along
Down some old dirt road we don't even wanna be on

And be the girl in a country song

("Yeah, baby, I ain't your tan legged Juliet. Can I put on some real clothes now?")

We all act like we are walking away.

Aww, no

We take a bow. Someone starts clapping. We look and Wendy is there. Reese says, " How long have you been watching?"

I would like to know also.

She says, " When you got up and started dancing with them."

He yells and runs off with Dylen. We all laugh. Lucy goes to get Dylen. Wendy walks up and kisses me. She says, " That was very sexy. However don't be turning my boys gay."

I laugh and say, " I would never dream of it." I act like I am hurt.

We laugh and she kisses me again.

****

Tammy comes over later and says, " I'm sorry. I heared what happened with Dylen. I should have never told them. Please forgive me."

I decide to forgive her because after all I am sleeping with her mom. I nod my head and she hugs me. I hug her back.
