Madame Petite: She Sees What You Cannot See!

Madame Petite was a client of Dr. Will’s for 13 years following the disappearance of her sister Lucy. During treatment she claims to have discovered her psychic abilities. She used these powers to find her missing sister who was suffering traumatic amnesia and living in a small village near Madison, Wisconsin. She reunited with Lucy and they live together in a mobile home in the town of Crawfordsville, Indiana. This is her report on matters transcendent:

Hey Dr. Will,

As you are aware, I always know before anyone else when a celebrity passes over to the other side. It’s a feeling that comes upon me without warning, often at inconvenient times and in strange places. And so it was yesterday afternoon as I sat getting a manicure at Cuticle Corner when suddenly, Lu, my nail technician went into a shuddering trance. I asked what was wrong and she suddenly stepped away into the middle of the salon. She grabbed a hairbrush and broke into the song Proud Mary. As we all stared in amazement, she then began to make violent beating motions in the air.

And then she froze and her whole face changed. Turning to me she spoke in a deep voice that I instantly recognized. She was channeling none other than Ike Turner! I realized right away - even before the media announcement - that Ike had gone over into the Kingdom. Using Lu’s little body as a vehicle, here is what Ike said:

“Madame Petite, you are looking fine, girl! You’re a little mouthy but, hey that’s how you roll and it’s all cool! Yeah, baby, I’m on the other side and it is a fine time. But I gotta admit I had a rough orientation. I had to atone for my ways on earth. The first person I see is none other than Marvin - you know, as in Marvin Gaye! He comes right up to me smiling and then wham! He slaps me silly. Then he says, ‘welcome, Ike. You have got some explaining to do.” Then he disappeared.

Next thing you know, I am on a huge stage in front of thousands. Wow! Just like I dreamed…except…wait a minute! I realized that I was not playing guitar behind Tina. No, I’m out front singing lead. And behind me are these three fine ladies playing in the band. And one of them looks exactly like Tina herself! She’s glaring at me and I could yell in an instant that she was gonna deliver me a beat down after the show. It was terrifying!

Suddenly everything froze and I heard the voice of the almighty boom out: ‘Ike my son, Time to sing a new song!’ I broke down and cried like a baby. In fact I wrote my first song over here. I call it “Ike’s Almighty New Song.” I’ll sing it to you in your dreams tonight, sugar.”

And with that, the episode was finished and Lu came back to herself. Everyone in the salon applauded and Lu is talking about quitting her job and becoming a full time channeler. Yeah, good luck with that, girlfriend! I didn’t have the heart to tell her that she was just used as a tool to benefit my work. Ike used her to speak to me. But hey, she’ll learn soon enough.

That’s it for now. I’m off on a long bus trip to Erie, Pennsylvania (you can’t beat the bus for meeting interesting people). I will be attending the fifth annual marketing conference for paranormal professionals (the closing night awards dinner is always a great time!)

Ciao for Now,

M.P.
