franklin called his mother shortly after he spoke with mary and it was the first time they'd spoken since a brief conversation on sunday afternoon, right before he flew to new york for his momentous appearance on the jimmy ball show. He felt guilty about not calling her sooner. But of course he'd been legitimately busy. He told her that knowing it wouldn't mollify her even slightly franklin dear. She said, even in all you're running around, surely you could have found time for a quick call to let me know you hadn't been kidnapped or something. I've been beside myself with worry. I know, I know. I'm sorry, he replied, Feeling like he was 10 years old again, these phone conversations dramatically reduced his age mere seconds after they began. So you're in hiding? Yes. Until this all comes down About 10 years from now. Oh mom, I don't know. Todd's website increased the craziness by a factor of 100 too low. She told him no sentient insurance agent would sell either of you a life insurance policy and that's what scares me, scares me very much. I studied town's website carefully. Very original. We should all change our names and move to brazil. I do wish he'd run it by any of the adults in his life before he posted the damn thing and I wish you'd call your mother before you decided to go on national television and tell a woman in Salt Lake City that she was silly for believing in an imaginary friend that went right through him to his core. She'd done it again next time. He promised. Just out of curiosity, franklin if you could go back and change things. What would you say to her when she asked if you were praying to God while holding that girder? He paused slightly before replying. I would tell her that in that moment girder in hand I'd have been glad for help wherever it came from. Good answer shame. You didn't think of it on sunday? Had you been drinking? This is why he didn't call her more often. These conversations sometimes ended with him whimpering in a corner. A glass of wine at dinner. Only one. Well the way to refill my glass so I guess it was really too and that was it. Yes, he lied and changed the subject. Are the reporters and all still bothering you? No. Things have quieted down since I started throwing pails of cold water on whoever was loitering on my doorstep when I answered the bell. I wish I'd thought of that. Well she told him I'm too old to punch out the members of the press and lay them flat. I'll leave that to you. I did post a sign warning them that they were trespasses and that I would deal with them accordingly. So if the worst that happened to them was being doused with ice water that seemed a mild enough response. Do you know in younger days I was quite a scrapper. I want you to be shoots in the face with a brick. Who? What? I was only 11. I just had braces put on my teeth and er be made fun of me. So I called him a monkey because he had big ears that stuck out like a chimpanzee's. He was furious. So he pushed me down and then he kicked me twice. That ruined my dress and of course made me mad Franklin, squirmed thinking about this. Catherine whitestone. Well brown then. It was a hurricane when angry. So you hit him with a brick? He asked though he couldn't see her. She nodded. I went home crying and changed my torn dress. Then I took a brick from the construction site next door and waited by the wall nearer his home some blocks away when he came around the corner I smacked him with it. Good. Then I ran away mother. That was that was criminal. Oh I put the brick back before anyone noticed it was gone.
