Okay, go wash your hands.

Now go sit at the table.

Hmm...

-Milk, too, please.

Tell me a story, Mommy.

-What kind of story, baby?

-A happy one.

-Hmm...

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time, there was a woman...

-Ooh! This is getting good.

Once upon a time, there was a woman...

who...

hated being alone.

-How come, Mommy?

-It's because...

Because it's all that she knew.

When she was a baby...

some strangers found her

in a Dumpster.

She had been there the whole day.

And...

it even made the news.

A little black baby girl

found in the Dumpster all alone.

And even then, no one claimed her.

No one wanted her.

They thought she was wrong.

She went from home to home,

family to family.

Always alone.

-What happened when she grew up?

-Well...

She was still alone.

She tried to find someone...

someone to spend time with,

someone to laugh...

But...

No one...

No one really liked her.

-How come, Mommy?

-Um... they didn't think she was very fun.

Maybe she wasn't.

Maybe during, um, dinner

or a boring movie,

she would drift off and think of that Dumpster.

And...

You know, it's, uh...

darkness smell...

It's meaning...

about how no one thought she belonged in the world.

But then, uh...

-But then?

Your story.

-Yeah.

But then...

this woman,

she decided that she was...

In a change of fate,

she was never gonna be alone again.

She was gonna have a baby.

-And did she? Did she have the baby, Mommy?

-Yes.

And she had him, but he didn't come out like she thought.

-He didn't?

What was wrong with him?

-Ma'am? -What do you want?

-OFFICER: We got a call.

Operator said she heard you scream.

Is everything okay here?

-Ma'am. -Yes, everything's fine.

-Then why'd you call?

Are you alone?

-My son's here.

-Did you call about your son?

Why don't I have a word with him?

-No.

You're not touching him. He's fine.

-Ma'am?

-There's nothing wrong with him.

We're fine.

-Next time I'm called back here, I'm gonna have to...

-So what was going on with the kid, Mom?

The... The one from your story?

-Nothing, baby.

He was perfect.
