"This was all I could get today momma. I'm sorry." I said, walking to my mom's room, dropping the 7 dollars and 3 pennies that I got today on the street. My momma had 4 children, all girls and she didn't regret none of them.
"It's okay baby. I did worse. All I got was 5 dollars the whole day. Did Taysha, Tia, and Tiny come back yet?" My mom asked me with tears in her eyes. We been living like this for 7 months now. Every day after school, me, Taysha, Tiny and Tia would go walk in different parts of the city and beg for money while my mom stays out there from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm.
"No." I said.
"Hey momma, hey Tayla. How much y'all made today? I made 17 dollars and some change." Tia said as she put her cup on the floor.
"I made 7 and momma made 5." I said.
"Well I guess we wait until Taysha and Tiny get back." My momma said.
Five minutes later my other two sisters walked through the door.
"Hey. I made 28." Tia said.
"Sup. I made 12." Tiny said.
"Together we made 69 dollars. On a Sunday. What do y'all want to eat?" My momma said putting her shoes on.
"Can we get Chinese?" Tia said.
"Yeah baby. Come on y'all." Momma said.
-----NEXT DAY 5:00AM------
I woke up to my mom shaking me.
"Y'all I took the rest of the money from yesterday to buy a box of granola bars and some Gatorade. Thats gonna be y'all breakfast today. Each of y'all got a dollar to get a iced tea or something at school. I love y'all. Have a good day." She said.
"Morning." Me and my 3 sisters said in unison.
We all got up and brushed our teeth and put our clothes on with the beat up shoes that we've been wearing for the past year and headed to school, ready to be teased.
