I woke up bright and early. Today is the day I get my lil brother Von back , and Ive have been throwing up all day , and the only thing I had was water. IM really nervous because I'm afraid that one of us might not make it to see another day. Its now 6: 35 AM , and I'm weak as hell I swear if it wasn't for my brother I wouldn't even help D- low or his damn father just off the fact of how rude he was to me yesterday. What man in their right mind would talk shit to somebody who trying to help them ? . Just stupid if you ask me , But I really needed something in my belly before I do anything , so I went down stairs trying to find my way to the kitchen. I swear it was like a scavenger hunt this place is so big its ridiculous , after ten minutes of walking I was ready to give up , and find my way back upstairs , but the smell of bacon caught my noise. I followed the smell all the way to the kitchen thats a damn shame I thought to myself . I went inside to find a black woman cooking eggs , grits , pancakes , and bacon . shit smelled good as hell I sat down at the table , and watched as the lady hummed to herself. She was kinda tall to be so old , I mean she was taller then any elderly person I've seen. She looked to be about in her sixties , good hair even though it was in a tight bun , and dressed to impress . You would think that a maid would be wearing a uniform , but not her she was dressed in a colorful sun dress with some black flats. I guess she didn't hear me come in because she didn't turn around not once to see who was behind her .
" Hello " I said informing her that someone was in the room with.
" oh , so you do talk ? '' she asked , but never turnt around.
" what do you mean ?''
" I mean you been sitting here watching me all this time , but you couldn't say good morning or a how are you ? "
'' Well if you knew I was behind you why wouldn't you say anything to me ?'' I wasn't trying to be rude or anything I just wanted to know , but I guess she took that as me being rude.
" Now lil girl let me teach you a lil something called manners because you don't seem to have any , now when you enter any room you either say good morning , good afternoon , how you been , how you doing , praise The Lord , or hollalojah . I don't care whatcha say , but you better make your presents known you understand ?''
" yes " This lady is crazy .
" no you say yes m'am "
" yes m'am "
" good. Now I know your mama taught you some manners , and you may have forgot them , but its okay because ima help you get um back chile"
" actually she didn't"
" what you say now chile " She looked like she was about to smack my ass.
" I said my mama never taught me any manners "
" oh , well what type of mama you have ? how old are you chile ?"
" I'm 17 almost 18 " I answered.
" 17 almost 18 . " she repeated. " I think you are old enough to have some manners."
" yea well manners seem to go out the window when all you hear in your house hold is F U and MotherFER this and KISS my AS-"
" OKAY !! chile I get it you didn't grow up with much manners. Have you ever heard of the saying ' Its Not Where You Come From , Its Where Your Going ? ' "
" yea all the time why ?''
"Do you know what it means ?"
" yea it pretty much explained itself " .
" okay then why are you blaming your mother for not teaching you manners as a young chile , when you are almost grown and should already have manners .?"
