Who AM I?
I was born in 354 in Northern Africa and my mother was a Christian named Monica
As a child I brought shame to my mother because I was undisciplined, idle, truant, & a prankster
As an adult I brought shame to my mother by joining a cult, being promiscuous, and trying to abandon her in a Chapel to be rid of her
