"Dada dada"
I heard Kaiser's babbles coming from his room making me walk inside seeing him standing in his crib.
"Wassup lil nigga" I smiled making him jump.
"Da ahhhhh" he muttered making me laugh.
"You ready ta' eat?" I asked picking him up and walking to the kitchen.
"Foo" he says as he points to the fridge.
"Yea that's where da' food go"
I strapped him into his high chair before putting his plate on the table. I made him eggs and gave him some applesauce and a cup of apple juice.
"Ima feed you first cause I gotta make sure you eat this shit then you can feed yourself" I told him making him laugh.
I chuckled, "I'm not laughing"
I turned on them little dancing fruit making him laugh, "here" I spoke moving the spoon full of eggs to his mouth making him eat them.
"Good?"
"Mmmm" he chewed.
As I was about to put the spoon to his mouth, he grabbed the egg and shoved it in his mouth.
"That's how you feelin?"
"Mmm foo" he said pointing to the applesauce. I scooped up some applesauce before feeding it to him.
I heard my phone ring making me put down the spoon and answer it.
"Yea"
"Hey son, you called me this morning?" My mom asked.
"Yea" I mumbled as I continued to feed Kaiser.
"Why?"
"Whatchu mean why? I'm your son, I just wanted to talk to my mother and see how her day's going"
My mom smacked her teeth, "nigga what the hell you want" she said making me laugh.
"I wanted ta' see if you wanted to watch Kaiser today?"
"Why, what you doing?"
"I'm gotta work today ma—so can you?"
"I mean I can but I'm not" she spoke making me smack my teeth.
"Why not"
"Cause that's your baby, figure it out"
"I did figure it out—you gotta watch him fa' me ma, ion got nobody else ta' watch him"
"I'm just fucking with you, of course my favorite grandson can come over—but you gotta get your schedule under control, this can happen every time you have him"
"Yes yea I know" I said over the conversation.
"Don't get a stank attitude with me, I'm just telling you what you need to hear"
"I know, we finna be over there 'round one, love you bye" I said hanging up.
I sighed making eye contact with my son, "life hard as fuck son, don't grow up"
