:03:03
A fat boy.
[ Sighs ]
:03:06
Waddle-butt.
:03:09
That's what the other kids
used to call me.
:03:13
I just wish they could see
my ass today, 'cause I've worked
really hard on my ass, you know?
:03:18
[ Sighs ]
Anyway.
:03:23
One year--
:03:25
I think I was in the fifth grade--
:03:28
my mama took me shopping
for school clothes...
:03:30
and I had gotten fatter.
:03:33
I had to try on jeans.

and she bought some used jeans.
:04:17
Well, she took the label
off the Husky jeans
and sewed on the ""Slim'' label...
:04:23
from the Goodwill ones.
:04:26
Slim. Shit.
:04:30
Like I could pull that off.
:04:37
It's just the kind of mama
she was though.
:04:41
Never made me feel bad
about being fat. She--
:04:46
She always just made it okay.
:04:51
And I've always thought that
that is unconditional love, and--
:04:56
Well, maybe if I told her
I was gay, it'd--
