Elvisโ mama Gladys and daddy Vernon were were having a cookout or whatever the hell the were doing in the summer. It was 1957, Elvis was famous and had just bought Graceland. Elvis was standing next to his mama and her friend, bout the same age as her. His daddy was sitting by a couple of his own friends listening to the game on the radio. Elvis saw you standing by two girls, which the two girls were talking about something, but you werenโt paying any attention to them, just kinda staring off into space. Elvis raised his brow and said, โWhoโs thatโฆโ he said while slightly pointing at you. His mamas friend looked up at you, โThatโs Ethel Leeโs daughter, they call her bucket.โ Elvis responded with, โWhy they call her that?โ She shrugged and while still looking at you, โCause her mama dumped her like a bucket and ran up north with her brothersโฆ she live with her daddyโฆ he a nice man, but a drunkโฆ donโt really take much care of her either, donโt let the poor thing around nobody, donโt let her go out no where eitherโฆ poor thing. I hear she a smart thingโฆ always readinโ books I hear.โ She shook her head slowly before Elvisโ mama spoke up, โShe a pretty thang, but ainโt no man to interested in a woman with a smart mouth and brainโฆโ Elvis nodded, interested in all this new informationโฆ he seemed to be interested in you himself. His mamas friend looked over at him and noticed him glancing at you, โDonโt fall for her Elvisโฆ people are gonna be all up your hind if you go out with herโฆ youโll have a whole bunch of competition if you try to go out with her.โ She said before she looked over at you along with his mama. Elvis just nodded slowly before he looked away from. Then one of his friends the a football at him. So he just walked over to themโฆ his friends also noticed him staring at youโฆ well they didnโt think he was staring at you but the girls next to you. And they were allll about girlsโฆ always talking about different girls, but they never said a word about you, only about other girls. He never understood why though.
