Because it's all that she knew.
When she was a baby
some strangers found her
in a Dumpster.
She had been there
the whole day.
And
it even made the news.
A little black baby girl
found in the Dumpster all alone.
And even then,
no one claimed her.
No one wanted her.
They thought she was wrong.
She went from home to home,
family to family.
Always alone.
-What happened when she grew up?
-Well
She was still alone.
She tried to find someone
someone to spend time with,
someone to laugh
But
No one
No one really liked her.
-How come, Mommy?
-Um they didn't think
she was very fun.
Maybe she wasn't.
Maybe during, um, dinner
or a boring movie,
she would drift off
and think of that Dumpster.
And
You know, it's, uh
darkness smell
It's meaning
about how no one thought
she belonged in the world.
But then, uh
-But then?
Your story.
-Yeah.
But then
this woman,
she decided that she was
In a change of fate,
she was never
gonna be alone again.
She was gonna have a baby.
-And did she?
Did she have the baby, Mommy?
-Yes.
And she had him, but he didn't
come out like she thought.
-He didn't?
What was wrong with him?
- Ma'am?
- What do you want?
We got a call.
