You are home by yourself. Your mom is at work and your little sister is at her friend’s house. You are sitting on your couch watching tv, when your doorbell rings. You go to the door and look through the peephole. It’s your next door neighbor, Ray Ray.
“Ray, what you doing here?” You ask him.
“Braid my hair? Please?” Ray asks, flashing you a pleading smile.
“Okay boy. Get in here.” You tell him.
Ray comes in and sits on the couch. You go upstairs to your room to get a comb. When you return, you sit on the couch and Ray sits on the floor in between your legs. You start braiding his hair. It takes you almost. 30 minutes to do just 1 braid.
“Boy did you know you got some thick hair?” You ask him.
“Oh, I do? I thought I was bald.” Ray says, being sarcastic.
You push Ray playfully.
“Hey el stupido, you want some waffles?” You ask him.
“Yeah, but only if you didn’t cook em.” Ray says.
You push Ray again and get up.
You go in the kitchen and mix up the waffles, then put them in the waffle maker. You reach up in the cabinet to get the syrup. You don’t know it’s open so it falls and spills all over you. Ray bursts out laughing.
“Not funny Ray, ” you say reaching for a rag.
Ray continues laughing.
“Okay I got you Ray.” You say.
You get the strawberry syrup out of the cabinet and squirt it all over Ray. His smile disappears.
“See now imma getchu you.” Ray says.
“You not gone catch me! ” You tell him.
You and him run around the kitchen table. You didn’t notice there was water in the floor. You slip and fall. He slips and falls also, right on top of you.
