What'd your mom say?
Nothing.

Didn't have my shit together.

So I pulled over in the middle of nowhere,
And I birthed your wrinkly ass in the back of the truck.
End of story.
Wasn't there a totem or something nearby?
Maggie: No totem, it was a ancient face carved into a tree.
In heiltsuk it's called mamathlteeasa.
Long ago our people would
Carve faces into trees to mark territory.
It was one of those.
So where was this?
In the goddamn bush somewhere.
You know, I was a little busy squeezing your fat head
Out of my uterus to take notes.
And you were alone?
Hey, why are you giving me the third degree?
Because I met wade,
And he says he's my real dad.
And that he was with you the night I was born.
Why would he just say that?
Wade was an old snag, nothing more.
