"Watch her a come inah me house inah man clothes," Mommy gives me a look as I enter the kitchen.
"Lady it's a marina, me blouse a did long sleeve. You know that I can't sleep comfortably in that," I explain to her.
She laughs. "You nuh affi explain yourself to me enuh, you a big woman."
I know that's right.
Speaking of big woman, I have to tell her about Zayvion's mom.
"Me say mommy, tell me why nuh too long, the person I was with mother comes to his house with her friend who him obviously did a sex or something and she a pick pan me and a tell me say she nuh waah me be her daughter in law and a bagga things," I dramatically give her a summary of what happened.
"Who a pick pan you? The mother?" She asks me, folding the tail of her purple dress and then sitting on one of the barstools at the counter.
"Yeah, she nuh act like a grown woman any at all," I answer my mom.
"So yuh nuh answer her?" she glares at me, ready to get upset if I didn't defend myself. "Yuh mouth leff up under yuh ma?"
"Then me nuh must answer her, you coulda ask that," I go over to the cupboard and take out a bottle water.
I didn't take my medication so I'm going to do it now.
"And the woman good looking enuh mommy," I continue to tell my mom. "Never expect that from her."
"Naah tell yuh fi disrespect nobody first, but any gyal faas with yuh, yuh faas with them back, them coulda old or young, nuh make nobody more than you," she advises me, her tone raising slightly.
