Pearl Story Continued

October25

One day me and my mom went to the governors mansion to deliver a pair of gloves that he had ordered, but we also went to see if my mom could get full custody of me. She wanted to go because people keep speculating that they should separate me from my mom. People said that i was evil and should be raised by good Christians with good Christian morals. I remember on the way to the governors hall we there were other young kids about the same age as me that were ready to throw rocks and clods of mud at me and my mother. So to defend me and my mother i acted as if i were crazy and started screaming and yelling to keep them away.I knew how to deal with them. www.bullyonline.org/action/action.htm . When we arrived i remember seeing a big suit of armor that belonged to the governor, i was amazed at it but mom did not seem to like it that much. When the governor came into the hall he asked me a lot of sarcastic questions and acted like he did not notice my mom just yet. Soon after Reverend Wilson called me to him and started to ask me questions about my life at home. He asked me who made me. I knew the correct Christian answer, my mom had taught me to be a good Christian but i did not care for these people, so i did something irresponsible and told him “No one made me. I am a rose that was picked off the rosebush that grows outside the prison door!” The reverend decided to take me away from my mom. My mom then started to argue reasons why she should be able to keep me, and got really emotional. She them turned to reverend Dimmesdale and pushed him on to defend her. Dimmesdale did defend us but it almost seemed backhanded. He spoke up saying that me and my mom were right for each other. Dimmesdale went on and gave a few more reasons before persuading the Governor to let me stay with my mom. I then went over to Dimmesdale and rubbed his hand on my cheek, he seemed like a nice warm person.
