Early Memories
"You know I love you right? You the man of the house! Now stay in your room and think about what you did". she said
L.i.f.e.- Leaning into Faith Everyday.we all have a story it's up to us if it is heard that how we make history.there is power in words as we know words are deeds that need to be put in action and that's the work of creativity.don't be afraid of your truth set it free.
The reason this story is being told is secrets are hidden within a home for so long it causes separation between the members of the house and the home is supposed to be a safe haven. we know if you cannot be safe at home where do you go.we learn from mistakes not just the ones we make but also the one others make.
This is being dedicated to My First/Last QueeN and Kids.
"St.Matthew 7:24-Therefore whosoever hear these sayings of mine, and doeth them,I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock"
4-8
Narrator- As he's sitting in his room in fear trying to figure out what he did this time he was hungry so he ate.
He didn't think he needed to wake his parents to eat.
they looked tried sleeping peacefully in each others arms.
He woke up in the middle of the night to see his o.g. on top of his step-dad wrestling so he crawled into the living room then headed to the kitchen. he'd been waiting to use his new Aladdin changing color spoon that came inside the cereal box. changing from green to red as it touches his cold milk.
That's when the yelling started.
Big Brian-"why are you eating? did you ask anyone to fix that bowl of cereal.
Hey Gina come look at this! did you tell him he could eat a bowl of cereal?" He said.
O.g.-"No". I was going to fix breakfast but since he eating I'll just fix everyone else something to eat.
What the fuck who made this mess?
I'm not cooking until this kitchen gets cleaned up she said
Big Brian- "BOY COME HERE!". HE SAID.
Safire: "Ohh you finna get it". big sis says
George: As I walk to the chair in the living room slowly Im preparing for another beating. I see he got the belt but where's his pants? like magic abracadabra he makes the belt appear.
damn I got to go through this let's get it over with.
As he started to get into rhythm my O.g. stops him.
Thank God she saves the day I thought but she begins to say "you're not doing it right let me show you how".
Now she begins to beat me. beginning to get into rhythm big Brian tells her "that's not how you do it" then snatched the belt and say "This is how you do it".
Now he begins to beat me again. getting into rhythm. She stops him and snatches the belt. begins to beat me some more then he's snatched the belt again and begins to beat me some more. Then she goes to yell at him and they began to argue.
they send me to my room and as I hear their argument outside of the room. I think "Thank God but my butt hurts" Then all of a sudden, the bedroom door busted open as it busted open the fear is back.
Big Brian: You need to sit in here and think about what you've done and read he says.
Narrator: while he's leaving George is crying. the door closes Then bursts back open.
O.g.: "Boy if you don't stop crying I'll be on yo ass like white on rice.
You know I love you? Right.
You are the man of the house.
sit here and think about what you've done. Boom! the door shuts.
Narrator: Everybody goes thru but understand this is not about what I went through but how I got through. In the beginning I didn't understand what it meant to be the man of the house.
George: (Kidagarten) I'm at school just got done with the classwork so I'll take a nap so I thought but Jasmine and Jessica wanted to play truth or dare.
I dare them to kiss.
they say ill so I double dare them to let me touch there butty and they let me. now its Jas turn she dare me to kiss jess. II do it. now jess dare me to pull out my wee-wee. I'm not doing that you gonna tell on me. I say no. you're just scared they say. I'm not I say. They double dare me then.
OK I'll do it after class. After class everyone lines up to leave they're at the back of the line and as they pass my desk I lean back in my chair and show them what they ask for.
Narrator: The look on their faces is priceless. I'm home from school in my room taking apart my remote control car listening to Pinocchio read along book. it always seems like when I'm on punishment its family time. I want to watch Jurassic Park and eat popcorn.
