collect call with reverse charges

dear fifteen years ago diary,

standing on the boardwalk on virginia beach fifteen years ago later on today, i called back home to my biological mother here in illinois and told her i had a surprise for her. but she was the one who had a surprise for me. see, she'd told me since the day we'd met- who my 'daddy' was and where his parents lived- so i'd did my homework and it led me to virginia beach, virginia. i'd just not told her yet- i didn't want to hurt her feelings- or get her hopes up- or anything like that. but having his address in hand, knowing that's where i was going next, i gave her a call. after i hung up, well shit, where do you go after that? she said there were two candidates, you guys are gunna love this and remember, YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP. she told me on the beach that day, there was the plumber AND the leake. i went and stalked the man i know today as my biological father and DNA confirmed what i already knew by looking at ONE baby picture. her first guess was right. but still. keep your kitty in the yard.
