Carefree errands

Aspi recalls running some embarrassing errands for his mom.

When I was a kid I was expected to help with the household chores. I ended up running most errands especially those that involved trips to the general store. Occasionally Mum would give me a note with something scribbled on it and say “Beta, just show this to the storekeeper and he’ll give you a package. Pay for it and bring it home”. Once I left the house I used to note that the word “Carefree” was written on it.

Read paragraph 4 of his post: “So Little Aspi would walk up to the counter, feel his ears turn red, show the paper to the baniya, try to ignore the slight curl of the lips and bring the package home.”
