Grandma's Warning

Legion's grandma on his daddy's side warned them about calling him Legion. She were afraid because it come out of the Bible and were the name of a man filled with demons. But they didn't pay no attention to her 'cause she were always telling the kids not to make faces 'cause they would get froze and would be on them for all their lifes. She wouldn't let them sit in wheelchairs or walk with crutches or even fake a limp 'cause they would be afflicted like that. So they didn't put no faith in what Grandma said. And his name sure didn't seem to matter 'cause he were so good at ever thing he went at. Even with girls. He always had a girlfriend or two with him. I remember how good-looking he were. I always hoped I would have a life just like his.
