"John finally realized he needed help one day as he dressed me. Each tie, each lace, each zipper, he wept.
John's boss was a Jamaican fellow whom he admired, a man with a peace about him. "Sometimes ya just need a bump mon," he told John.
John started the anti-depressant Wellbutrin. He cried less, yelled less, chuckled more at the TV commercials.
He still had his doubts. Not about the unmanliness of taking mood medicine--John's not macho--but about its effects."
What is "a bump mon"?
@Justin Xu,
It is writing down an approximation of a Jamaican accent.
Ya = you
mon = man
I think a bump simply refers to a nudge, or an encouragement.
Stumble It!
