"I put DOG in a bowl and feed it to Ruby, Ma."

"Okay son... Go and get your homework done." Ma shook her head as her son, Billy, repeated himself. On and on he went about feeding the cat DOG, ever since their visit to see his lil' sis' christening.

They didn't own a dog and, for all she cared, he could've feed the cat his own piss if he'd just shut up about it.

"DOG's in all of us. I feed it to Ruby like Jesus did."

It dawned on her... he was dyslexic.

The baby, Ruby, wailed upstairs.
