The boys' band "SHOW?" is practicing for their big appearance this weekend in the school talent show. Ammo says, "Mom, we've got a Chemistry project due. We have to make a mole and I need you to go get stuff while we practice." A mole? Chemistry? Well, apparently a mole is some mathy thing- And the assignment is to make a stuffed mole and name him and then somehow relate this to the mathy thing. Like Carl Moleone shot a moley number of free throws this season. Ammo was going to do THe THree Stooges--CUrly, Larry and Mole. Stuffed animal? High school? THere are four large male sixteen year olds looking at me hopefully. "Could you buy us some material too, Mrs. Westbrook? Huh? Please?" They decide to make a little mole band, a replica of themselves. Ammo will make his a little drummer mole. "Do you know how to sew?" I ask them. Blank looks. "Can't we staple them together?" asks Patrick. "I can sew!" says Chris, excitedly. "Really, I can! If you'll thread the needle!" "I have a big bottle of Elmer's," says Ammo. They want khaki material and they decide to make little white t-shirts with the band name on them "MOLE?" Just like their big boy "SHOW?"shirts. THey get excited. "Let's build a little stage!" "Yeah, let's make little instruments!" "Yeah! Let's--" I go to WalMart, the only store close to us. I have to pick up CW"s prescriptions anyway. He has pinkeye and an ear infection. If we're ever healthy here again, I swear I'll become religious. The lady in the sewing section is very nice. I tell her I need some material to make stuffed animals. "Moles?" she says, knowingly. "Yes! How did you know!" "EVeryone has been in. Two kids just left with their stuff. They got bright green fabric and purple felt. I said, what kind of mole is that? They said they were making The Incredible Hulk Mole." I bought lots of khaki material-she said to double it because they'd screw it up at least once. ANd little rolly eyes. And fiberfill. ANd pink felt for their little feet. I'm getting excited. If they won't let me help, maybe I'll make my own. What about Moledonna! I could give her a coneshaped bra made out of black leather! No-I want to be more literary than that-- Emoley Brontë!! POlitics---Elizabeth Mole. Moledaline Albright. Books-Moley Dick. Oh I can't wait to see what kind of moles you and Gaugie make!
