THE MOMENT
"You're not human!" she shrieked then fainted.
Tucker caught his mom before she hit the ground.
He sighed, " Great. Now our relationship tainted."
He carried her and laid her down
on the living room couch.
Tucker waited for minutes 'till she woke.
She sat up and stared.
"What I saw...," she asked. "...was it a joke?"
"You had fangs and tons of hair!"
Tucker nodded and slouched.
"I don't know how it happened,"
He confessed and watched her mood.
Her face lightened and her eyes brightened.
"It'll be much cheaper to feed you dog food!"
