Miss Watson Monologue

I hope you were surprised the other day by my visit. You ought to have known I was coming to get you. You're my son, and you will be staying under my roof with me. I ain’t want you livin’ with no Miss Watson. It’s been a long while since I’ve last seen you, and looks like you made some big changes. Not sure what makes you think you’re better than me now? Don’t forget that you’re my son and that you will listen to me. The night I came to get you at ole’ Miss Watson’s it looked like you thought you were above me. You got your nice, starchy clothing on.
