Chapter 134: Shoulda Known

TYLER

March

We've just checked in to our hotel in Boston after playing games in New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. I'm psyched for a hometown game. I even sent word to my old gym teacher, Mr. Gunnersen, and set him up with club seats so he could watch the game in style.

Now, the hard call. I dial my mom's number.

"Hi Tyler," she answers right away.

"Hey, Ma. How's it goin'?"

"It's been all right," she says casually. "Got the money you sent. Still waitin' on the welfare shysters to get their shit together, so it helps."

That's the closest I'll ever get to a thank you from her, so I'll take it. "Good. Glad it helped. Hey, I'm in Boston for a game, and I thought I could get you and the kids some tickets. You could come cheer me on."

"Ah, no, I don't have a car and I'm not loadin' the kids up on the bus."

"I can send a car, Ma. Don't worry about getting there and back."
