things I wonder about

"It's okay Momma.

Maybe someday soon, you'll know your kids names again."

He'd said it with compassion

after I'd called him the wrong names

again

for the kajillionth time.

If I've said it once

I've said it fifty times,

"It isn't that I don't know who you are,

my brain and my mouth just don't work together sometimes."

It got me to wondering...

Sleep deprivation is a form of torture;

keep the victim awake until he talks.

Right?

But

why on earth

would anybody believe what the poor tortured soul said??
