No. 5, Homo

Mr. Leiber lived in the house next door to us. He lived alone he used to show us card tricks and sometimes he gave us chocolate chip cookies that were better than moms. We liked him a lot. You stay away from him mom told us. Why we said what’s wrong. That man’s a homo she said oh we said what does that mean it means he's going to hell she said he's a dirty man don’t ever let him touch you Maxi ok whatever I said. We thought she was crazy. Mr. Leiber’s the one who taught us to wash our hands before we eat. Our mom never does.
