I was litsening to the radio, the other day, just some local station, that plays a lot of different music, and the DJ is taking calls from anybody that feels that if you can sue your parents what would you sue them for. This is long, but it is funny. There were a group of siblings on the phone, well one was on the phone and the others were yelling in the background. They had a list.
The time my mother got mad at me when I told my brother that hotdogs was pig penises, and he would not eat them anymore.
The time, I was mad at my mother and I told her to let me die next time I get sick let me die and she said she would but it was against the law.
The time when I acted up in school so bad my mother hid in the coat closet, and jumped out of it with a belt, and the teacher left the room so she could say she did not witness anything.
The time we were just being kids and she fed us and bathed us and told us to go to bed and it was four o'clock in the afternoon. We told her that the sun was still up and she said if you close your damn eyes you won't see it.
The time when I on a dare ran around on the playground in just my underwear, for three days, and my mother brought me to school everyday in my underwear and handed the teacher my clothes, and left. And she rode me to school in the car with the windows down, and turned off the heat.
How my mother would say look at me when I am talking to you, and then she would say don't look at me like that.
How my mother hated for us to use slang, and she gathered us up in a huddle, and said once. My name is not, Young, Dog, Yo, Mo, and none of that other stuff yall hear. And when we slipped, she would not even say a word, she would knock the livin' daylights out of us and keep movin.
When we got older how we tried to tell her that we wre not all the same, and she said... It is five of yall, always and one of me, and we gon go along to get along, when four of yall get a damn job, then we will negotiate.
The last thing one of them said was, you ain't had an ass whuppin til you had a Wendy Garris ass whuppin, and we used to try and wear her down, but she out lasted us every time.
Guys these grown kids were mine, I remember every comment every incident, and I had to laugh. But then I thought well, I didn't do too bad, cuz I got 2 preschool teachers. The one that wanted to die, is almost done with nursing school, and he turned 20 today He has sickle-cell-disease.
