“Take a bath, you smell like outside”.
“I’m not one of your lil friends”
“Fix your face”. Just some of my mother’s favorite quotes 🤣
That’s the one, that 2nd one! Lol
I use those quotes now on my own kids😂😂
Oh my gosh....”fix yo face” was THE saying my mom used
🤣🤣🤣🤣
yeah and my mom would add, "before I fix it for you"
Plastic grocery bags are also trash bags, shower caps, umbrellas, and lunch bags 😂😂
Yes lol
@@qianabrown3443 I just saw where she said it in the video too lol
To this day I do not own a shower cap lol
Suitcases too 😆🤣
Oh we forgot deep conditioning cap 🤣🤣🤣
I’m a lil late but I love my mama & I couldn’t resist:
1) “You got McDonald’s money?”
2) “If you can “huh” you can hear!”
3) “You want somethin to cry bout?!”
Kids today could never! 🤣🤣🤣
Growing up in the 80's in South Africa, SOUTH AFRICA, we were told that there were kids in Ethiopia who would wish to have the food that our moms piled on our plates. I'd love to know what moms in Ethiopia told their kids.
I’m in my 60s; we had to eat all of our food because the starving children in Biafra would love to have the food we had.
YESSS😂😂😂😂
"Keep cryin'. I'm gonna give you something to cry about."
I’m a white woman and I heard this many times. Lol Heck, I even used it on MY kids. 😂😂
Classic
Famous words in a black house! 🤣😂
OMG yes... busted my head acting a fool... mama said I might need stiches and I started crying... "Shut up before I give you some more"... dang really😂😂😂
That was my mother, all day!😂
A loaf of sliced bread wasn’t just sliced bread. It was hot dog and hamburger buns, too!
Lol, yep!
Girl I had to tell my kids this all the time. And they looked at me stupid. Lol
What's a bun? 🤣🤣😆😆🤣😆😆
I have not eaten a hotdog/hamburger on sliced bread since the day I left my parents house. I won't even eat a patty melt.
@@jsroper87 😂
I'm arab and I grew up just like this lmao. Especially the reusing the containers and plastic bags.
Don't forget the mom stare if we were trying to start something in a store and being asked if we wanted to "go back to the car" or "go to the bathroom"
WOW 🙌🏾
Truth.💯
OMG ....THE DEATH STARE....we just called it "The Look"!!
We were terrified to get home!! 😂😂
When I was silly enough to ask my father about going somewhere because " everybody's gonna be there". My father said: "EVERBODY'S NOT gonna be there--cause you're NOT gonna be there!!!" Took me a while to figure out how to ask a better question and get a better answer.
You and adults aren't on a first name basis. It's Miss and Mr. regardless. Periodt.
Yes!!!!🙌🏾
Yes ma'am.....my son calls my BFF (his godmomma) Aunt, along with the rest of my friends....if not that, then Miss So and So....LMAO
To this day.
Yes!!!!!
I'm 62 and one thing I am glad we old folks finally did away with was calling adult cousins "Cud'n' so-&-so". Sounds sooooo country. But I still don't believe in kids first-naming grown folks.
"Be in this house when the street lights come on." "Does your mother know you came down here to play?....Let me call her."
You took mines. Lol!
@@shwanagarner3966 LOL!
Yessssssssss!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤎🤎🤎🤎
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Yes, tell everything!!!
My mom use to blink 3 porch light....on...and don't let her blink it the 3rd time....😂😂😂
1. When you hear any mixture of old school r&b on a Saturday morning, get up and get the cleaning products. 😓
2. Feeling your soul leaving your body when you hear the keys in the door and you remember you didn’t take the meat out of the freezer for dinner. 🥴
3. Never say what you don’t eat 😩
Feeling your very soul leave your body???? Too funny!
#2😂😂😂😂
To this day I tell people I'm "allergic" to celery cuz you bet not say what you don't eat
These 2 that I also used on my sons….:
‘Don’t let your mouth write a check your butt can’t cash.’
‘You bet not make me have to come in there.’
And whenever they talked about something being really early in the day they’d say, ‘Fo day in the morning’. Took me a long time to figure it out. 😂
Yes! My co-worker who grew up in Michigan said they nicknamed the egg delivery man "Fo' Day" because he made his delivery rounds before dawn. 😄
“Why are there 2 boxes of cereal open?”
“You smell like outside”
“Why is my front door open, we not heating up the world.”
That cereal stuff irks my soul. Kids can’t ever eat out of and finish one box before trying to crack into the next one. Nobody wants stale cereal.
"You smell like outside"....memories. I haven't heard that in forever. I'm in the 45 and over crew😉
You smell like outside 😂😂😂
Ohhh! To this day in my own house, I get scared having more than one box of cereal open!
@@calisahardy4845 no lie lol sometimes I have to remind myself "I'm an adult now, I can do what I want."
If you walk into a room without speaking, especially to your elders, you may get your head knocked off.
Oh yes.
You may as well put in a request for your favorite flowers at your funeral if you entered a room and not speak..😂
Best believe if you don't speak when you regain consciousness, you getting knocked out again.
PERIODT and I’m the same way with my kids
Oh, heads definitely will be rolling!
The smell of Pine-Sol and EWF playing on the record player on Saturday mornings!
Scenario 1:
You're in a different room.
Mom calls your name.
You answer, Yes.
No response.
You again answer, Yes, but a bit louder this time.
No response until you physically go to where mom is in the house/apartment.
Scenario 2:
You're in a different room, playing or whatever.
Your mom calls you.
You run to her location.
She is sitting somewhere near a tv and asks you to hand her the remote that close by.
I'm 65 and my Mama does this: Pour me some coffee, the coffee maker is 5 feet away from HER but I'm washing dishes.
@@stephaniechenault9169 Lol.
💯
The stove overhead light was the night light at grandma's. Period.
Yesssss!!!!
Still is for me.
That stove light was like the North Star for us hungry cousins wanting a snack. Granny house was the only safe place to enter a kitchen at night.
@@wisewittyandpretty4210 me too😂 and And I'm just 25
Omg, yes! To this day, I still have mine on.
It ALWAYS amazes me how so many black households across the country can relate without being related!!! I LOVE US!!!! ❤
I love y’all 😂😂💙❤️💙❤️💙
Yasssss!!!!
❤️
No no no! You mean ACROSS THE WORLD! I'm from South America and my moma did alllll a thissss!
Sis it’s like it was a black household book that parents followed like better homes and gardens for black ppl aka decent house and outside 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's no words to explain how hard that, "Get out my mouth!" hit...I mean, my heart stopped & I froze 'cause I had to remind myself that I'm in my room & Mama ain't in here 🤣😂😅
Omg this was great! I was raised by a German grandma and an English grandfather and SO many if these things were said in our super pasty white house! This brought back such great memories of my family.
“Turn them lights off! You don’t pay no bills around here!!”
I still use this one with my child who loves to turn on every light in the house.
I tell my husband that lights don't grow on trees!
Yessssss! 😂😂😂😂
"You ARE a bill!" 🤣🤣gets em every time
I use that with my child 😂
If you ever heard the words “I’m gone beat the black off you.”
Told to my white God daughter when she was about five, cutting up the the grocery store, "Do it again and I'll beat your ass til it was black as mine!" She stopped, eyes wide as saucers, blinked a few times then straightened right up. No problems after that. LOL *I don't believe in corporal punishment, but she didn't know that. 🤣
Or "bust yo head to the white meat"..🤣
Don't ever embarrass parents by acting up in public and we couldn't touch ANYTHING merchandise related whenever we were shopping with them at stores for fear of it breaking or the store thinking we stolen it.
We knew the “staintion” cord was a multi-purpose tool.
Don't forget girl, don't worry about people talking about you, they talked about Jesus Christ and He died for our sins!
YES!
Yes 🙌🏽
And she be one of the ones talking bad about you to her friends
Yes Chile!
Beautiful 😍 I absolutely love this one.
“Y’all ain’t gon keep coming in and out of this house! IN OR OUT!”
“Answer that phone/door, if it’s Suzy tell ‘em I’m not here”
*later that same day…*
“I don’t know where you got all this lying from! It ain’t that hard to tell the truth! Right or wrong?!”
And last but not least, “ FIX YOUR FACE!”
🗣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅😁😅 IM HOLLERING ..
I'm dead bruh🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looool, that last part.
Fix our face OR IT WILL STAY THAT WAY FOR EVER!
Yes! I was just thinking that one.."you're not going to keep running in and out of this house!"
I'm Mexican American raised in South Central, 1960s and 70s! CHECK to ALL of these. So so funny! There doesn't seem to be much difference in how you and I were raised. I laughed when my black friends would tell me their moms would make them use water in their cereal when the milk ran out cuz my mom did that...and you better eat it!! I am now subscribed, thank you for your ALL wonderful content! ❤
I struggle with depressing and times are very hard for me right now going through some major issues with this pandemic. So your video gave me so much laughter and hope that we can laugh in these tough times . Thank you !! New subscriber right here !
Wishing things will get better for you💚
My mom was famous for saying, "If you embarrass me, I'm going to embarrass you no matter where we are." I learned quick
When someone stared and didnt speak.. "Well hello to you too, you can speak! Didnt nobody sleep with you last night!!"
Mine always said "act a fool at school and I'll beat your at school".
My mom always said, "IF you show out in Macy's, I'm gonna show out at Macy's." I tried her one time, never did it again.
My momma always said "wherever my wagon breaks down is where I'm gon' fix it"
Yuuupp and raising my babies the same way. They best not embarrass me
How were black parents communicating these rules across the US without the internet? Some kind of secret manual or something 🤣🤣🤣
The world even cuz im in London and 100% relate lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I believe those rules are passed down via genetics and the whispers of the ancestors guiding us. Let me find out Sistah Harriet Tubman up in Heaven STILL trying to save us from butt whuppings. 🤣😂
The village drums travel far and wide!
Black Americans have a culture too lol
When it's time to get your hair done you went to the kitchen, not the bathroom, and prepared to get ON the counter at the sink and also had to sit in front of the stove but wasn't going to be cooking anything, except your ear if you let it go or moved! 🤣 Also Summers were spent going outside and "gettin' wet" by the sprinklers (basically only because the grass needed some water or your cousins had spent the night and your momma needed a break so y'all had to go outside and she was feeling generous.) Going shopping for school clothes, what you got for Christmas was winter and Easter.... and that was it!
Wait… I think I was raised in a black household. Or my mama was so she raised us that way. 😂 I felt this entire video deep in my bones.
So we ain’t gon’ mention Vick’s vapor rub, switches from the tree outside, or cleaning the whole house on Saturday morning with Motown’s greatest hits playing in the background.
Saturday morning clean to Motown! Yeeeesss!
I hated that Vicks rub. Mama would put it on our chests and backs. Sometimes even under our nose.
Getting flashbacks from "go get a switch".
The panic. The fear. ☠💀
My mom called it Vicks sas.
Yes to Motown on Saturday mornings! Also my mom's mom made her eat a spoonful of Vicks after she had also rubbed it on her. She also made her eat drops of kerosene on a spoon full of sugar.
We always got the "you better not ask me for nothing" speech before we went inside the grocery store 😂.... And when we got in trouble, it was "quit all that crying before I give you something to cry about" while we were getting a whooping 😂🤣
And if you KEPT crying, you'll be alright as long as......
My mom gave it to me and I gave it to my son...yasssss!!!!
Gdm. @ Only me, Is 💯 percent Correct, so far I agree with U &
Most of the other comments as well. Lol 😀😆😆😂😂😂
I was waiting for this one, stop crying before I give you something to cry about LOL. On the other hand my mother seem like she would get mad if we didn't cry, so we 'squoze' (yes I said it) our eyes tight til a tear or two came out, then she would stop. LMBO
Just gave it to my own kids YESTERDAY, don't be asking for all this stuff. We in here for 1 thang 😂
When she gave you that “look,” DANGER!
Listen that margarine container STILL is the best for spaghetti. I'm not staining up my good bowls for nothing lol.
"By the time I get home, this house better be clean! "
"Come back in this house one more time and you gone stay in"
"Don't go eat over nobody else like I don't feed my kids!" 😂
Bingo all of this
“Where is the box?” your mom or dad looking for the remote for the TV. 🤣. Plastic on the furniture.
@@sg5720 One of my Georgia elders looking for the TV remote: "Where's the clicker?"😄
@@maryjane974 yeah and the "moken troll"
@@gojosgirl6487 Yes! LOL! :):):)
If you were young playing outside and thirsty, there was the water hose.
Took me back with this one!
Yup 😂😂 gotta let it run a few seconds so it can get cold 😂😂
Yup
So one time my Aunt was babysitting me and her kids at my house and she had to run to the store. She took her eyes off the back of her head and put them on the wall and told us we better NOT be in here doing anything wrong cuz she will be watching us. I was scared to move. I just sat on the couch trying to see if I could see the eyes move🤦🏽♀️
“You need something to do?” my mom if I ever looked like I was bored. Being bored was not allowed.
As an African, I'm here to confirm that we never wished for ketchup, LOLOL!
😂😂🥰
Thank for clarifying this mystery 🤣
I am weak!
NEVER!!!😂😂😂
@Adaobi 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now you tell me!!!!! I’m in my 60’s!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Me: Ma, I'm thirsty.
Mom: Drink water.
Me: I don't want water.
Mom: Then you ain't thirsty.
YES!!! 😆😆
Water was our magic cure all.
Insert any sickness or headache:
My mom: drink some water.
Yep... My Dad used say "yo body don't know about no soda, it wants water"
Oooooooooh noooo!!!!!! I'm turning into my mama!!! I just made this statement verbatim a Lil bit ago..... Laaaaaaawd!
Same with food. If you didn’t want what was in there, you wasn’t hungry.
When the last mom picks up her chair to leaves off the stoop to go in, without a word spoken, every child outside automatically KNEW to take your butt In the house. There was always supervision and we knew the rules. Praise God for nosey miss Marie in the widow too. Where you going? I see you! 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Everything I did ran up the light bill. My bedroom door was not to be closed for ANY reason!
My dad would give us a $20 bill to walk to the mall (because he wasn't going to waste his gas dropping us off those few miles) & go to the movies + get lunch & then say, "bring me my change". 😳 Change??? There are 5 of us! 🤣
And my dad put cocoa butter on EVERYTHING to "fix" it:
You burn yourself? Cocoa butter! Scraped your knee? Cocoa butter! Cut your finger? Cocoa butter! Splinter? Pull it out, then cocoa butter! 🤣🤣🤣
Y'all learned real quick to be creative on a value meal at the food court huh.
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My grandma used to call it “the show”.
I just spent 20 bucks at Starbucks 🥴🥴🥴
You know what the phrase “your daddy was not a glassmaker” means.
Hahaha! Move from in front of the TV! 🤣👍
Ohhhh I didn't know that one.
Told my son that the other day when he was standing in front of the TV! 😂😂
Sit your behind down...we can't see through you!
Can't see through you Chile, get from in front of the ( MY) tv!
"I brought you in this world and I'll take you out"
"Bring me a glass of water"
"Whats it to you?"
"Put this Vicks on and get under the covers"
"Don't tell nobody what goes on in this house cause it ain't they business"
"If that room ain't clean you ain't going nowhere"
"hang up my phone i need to make a long distance call"
"Get up. You can hang out all night you going to church"
" Love you like a hog love slop" 🥰💌☺️😂
Thanks Ej, for helping bring back to mind these wonderful memories of my Momma may she rest in peace 🕊️
I can relate to everything you said, and I'm white. Lol. The butter bowls lol ..being in a room with adults. .being sick...Starving kids in Africa ..Let's say my mom would put our "school clothes" out every night n that's what we wore to school. I couldn't ask questions..feel uncomfortable. Nope. We ate dinner n when the kitchen was closed, it was closed. So I can relate too. Especially church on weekends. We went Saturday morning or Sunday mornings. As we got older we could go on Saturday ...
I can tell ya I always got the talking to also lol. Before going in a store, or any of my Aunts homes because us kids always wanted to stay where we didnt live for some reason.
Anyway, great videos!! They brought back some memories
When it's storming outside, you had to turn the tv and lights off because the Lord was outside doing his business. 🌩🌩🌩
Lol so true!
Yes!
OMG,,,YESS!! I used to hate thunderstorms because I knew that meant we were in the dark. And not because the power was knocked out - because we had to be quiet and in darkness when the Lord was speaking! 😂😑
And lay down and be quiet so the Lird can work.
Lord not Lird
"I don't care what your little friends do but (fill in the blank). I'm not they momma, I'm your momma!"🤣
I say this to my daughters all the time.
I have to use that this week 🤣
I think I'm gone change little to "lil" and your to "yo". Lol. I say that to my kids with my subtle changes 😅
That line!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
" Don't go outside & don't let nobody in ... while I'm gone. "
This is so funny. I grow up with all of those rules. Especially opening up the door without asking who's at the door.
Batteries in the freezer, aluminum foil on the tv antenna, the smell of Pine-Sol in the kitchen and bathroom, not EVER sitting in the living room (don’t even pass through the living room), etc 🤣😂
@Black Butterfly… Amen💀😂🤣😂🤣. True
The living room was for the Christmas tree. The dining room was used three times a year: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter.
I STILL don't sit in the "front room" 😅
And my grannie & auntie had the plastic covers on the living room couch & chair.
@@friendlyvibes5363 my thighs always stuck to the plastic… That’s why you are not to sit on the couch!
"When we get in this store don't touch nothing and don't ask for nothing."
There was aways that one sibling though. 🤣
😂😂😂
And u just look at em like u soo stupid when that smack comes
You betta preach it up in here, JessSyd89!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
How we all had the same childhood 🤣🤣
I was that sibling 🤣🤣
That lookin sick part is NO LIE! You cracked a smile you automatically felt better.
Amen, and exactly. And they don’t teach that intuition of “danger,” leave from that situation immediately anymore. That’s what every adult female needs. 💯💯
“Why... Why are the kids in Africa wishing for ketchup? What’s that about”🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 agreed
Whuhahs
She twisted the words fir the sake of the joke - but black parents love to remind us about the hungry kids with the big bellies on those commercials
Listen....the ketchup.....the beans.....anything apparently 🤦🏾😂
The most famous statement: “I brought you in this world. I’ll take you out!” We all know what that meant! Someone got smart out of their league. You made me smile & laugh. Ain’t that just like all moms!!! Brings back memories. Almost let’s me know what’s missing in these generation of kids!!!
Lol that Country Crock butter container had everything BUT butter in it 🤣🤣🤣
Right!💯🤣
Right!!!
Absolutely! 😂👍
Collards, soup, potato salad, butter beans and corn!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I promise you that’s when they made “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter”.
I do relate! My mom cooked for six kids and I was always the last to leave the table because I was a slow eater and had to finish everything on my plate. Certain vegetables I hated, so I would shove that particular veggie in my mouth, leave the table and spit it out in the toilet. We were to greet grown folks and immediately leave the room and go outside to play. Those were the good old days. God bless!!!
Im 37 and the funny thing is, almost everything you said sounds like me with my girls. Lol!! I always said it wouldn't happen, but honey! I think im becoming my momma!
EVERY Saturday morning when you heard that stereo blaring mama's R&B, that means she's cleaning and you need to get up and come help!😂
Move on your own! Otherwise lights get turned on, curtains get opened and now I have a list for u! 😂
….and then, come Sunday morning, church music would be blaring from the portable radio in her room, meaning get up and get ready for morning service!😀
SIS. I DREADED Saturday morning for YEARS. The MOMENT Earth Wind and Fire started...??
*peeks from under blanket, deep sigh* Might as well get up. 🥴🙄 I still can't sleep through the smell of pine sol to this DAY. 🤣
Yes my mom did this every Saturday played her new cd’s she bought that Friday night before!
Amen
When your parents' entire inner thoughts and conversations can be done in a look, whether it's across a room or across a church🤔
From the choir stand!!! And don't let the other kids see your momma too!!!!
Still can send my grown daughters a look across the room to this very day!🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
The one about Church on Sunday’s is 🥇🏆
the "spen the night" bag really hit me hard!
"Your eyes are bigger than your stomach"
"stay out of grown folks business"
"hey is for horses"
Going through the comments. I was just thinking to myself I don't see "Your eyes are bigger than your stomach" 😂😂😂😂😂.
🤣 my second mom used to call it "Long eyed!" Referring to your eyes being bigger than your stomach! 😂
Also, "A hard head makes a soft behind"
At Christmas, you got the Sears catalog to circle what you want, even though you weren't getting half of what you circled
👍
Yes!!!
I always circled the life size Barbie Dream House and never got it😂
RIGHT 🤣🤣🤣
GURL! That catalog was EVERYTHING! I wanted Barbie doll and her dream house and car. There was no black Barbie back then and my Moma wasn’t buying none of it
That was the best! That was the dream 😂
EJjjjjjj!!!!!! I am hollering at the “If it’s a solid color it go with anythang!” When I tell you I truly thought it was just my Grandma that said this! Could it be an Arkansas thang? 🤔 Shout out from the Spa City! 🙂
The funny thing is a black house hold is a black household. I am a 1st generation American and I can relate to 99% of what was said.. I need to tighten up my game so my kids understand they live in a black household too!
Take a nap is also affectionately known as, "Go lay down!" 😴😂
That's what I tell my daughter now...Ma, my throat hurts...go lay down!
The look without saying a word.
💙🤍💙

Thats the scariest look
With the clinched top lip. 🥴You knew to straighten up and quick! 😂
Man that was terrifying 🤣
Preach sister preach. You brought me back to my momma and grand momma. 🤷♀️🤣🙏
Not the mosquito blink 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The multiple butter bowls and cookie containers. Kids was always outside and don't be in and out the house. Ginger ale, vapor rub and soap ops or in the heat of the night/ Walker Texas ranger, ECT is how you got over sickness.
When the Royal Dansk Butter Cookie tin can you get around Christmas now has needle and thread, buttons of all colors and crochet needles instead of cookies!!!
Literally had NO IDEA those things actually had cookies in them originally until my early 20s O.O
😂😁Absolutely...still have one to this day!
Yes ! I still have my moms can with her sewing supplies in it. 😂
😭😭😭😭😭
Yep! Hahaha!
We didn't eat everybody's cooking.🤣🤣
OMG!! Yes!! That was so effective to the point where, I still live by that credo to this day!!😂😂
I know right. 😄😄😄😄
And we didn’t stay at everybody’s house.
Facts.!! N still don't. "I'm good" lol😂
RIGHT. "Y'all gon eat now , you know we don't eat these folks food. You just say "no thank you", you hear?" -My Mom 🥰

You are home by sundown. I moved oceans away. I still get home by Sun down. Now for people from east Africa, the suns goes down between 6-7. Canadian winters, it’s 4:00PM sun down. 😩
Here’s one: “when we go to Ms. So and so’s house don’t ask for anything to eat or drink. If she offers you something you say no thank you.” So many times I wanted to say yes but I knew the assignment and I followed through 😂.
🤣🤣 oh yessir!
Oh my gosh yes!!! And be as hungry and thirsty like a dog especially if they cooking something good too! Oh and what about this; “ Don’t touch my walls, you’ll get em dirty!” Or how about that one decorated room in the home that nobody could go into! 😂
🤣😂….the assignment….🤣😂
Yessss, and you be so hungry; but they tell you “you betta not be acting hungry like I don’t feed you”
😆😆
“Close them blinds you lettin my air out!”
“Gone outside, grown folks talkin”
“If you hungry you better eat what I cooked, unless you got some MacDonald’s money!”
“Tell ya lil frein it’s time to go home”

“Don’t go over them people house eating like you don’t have no food at home.” 😂🤣😂

That's funny as hell!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes!! Get up and go clean and don't ask to go outside and play since you feeling better
Matter of fact, go to school and get your homework so you don't get behind in your studies since you feeling better
🤣 Our momma’s are something else
I was crying laughing!!! I say that to my children too. I am my mother now.
EJ you are hilarious.
I'll tell you just how hilarious you are. I got off of work at 9:00 p.m. and now it is 12:18 a.m. and I'm sitting on the edge of my bed watching you video after video while I'm doing my taxes.
I had to do them twice because I was not paying attention the first time because I was cracking up so much listening to you.
I'm excited cuz I know, I can feel it in my bones that you assume going to be discovered and I was already your number one fan well actually make sure that my schedule will be around the time your show comes on
Yes, my grandmother and mother did not play. The kitchen closed is one of my favorite.
We had to clean the entire house before we were allowed to watch Soul Train.
Yes! Soul Train on Saturdays! Remember Afro-Sheen commercials and Fat Albert?
Or Go Outside!
That one! But you had to do it quietly cause you better not wake her up.😂
No no no, you needed soil train to clean the house. My best mopping comes with the electric slide.

When you get so good at sneaking around the house, you know to memorize how items looked before you picked them up and put them back the right way. When you weren't supposed to be watching T.V., and know to cut it off a little early so it cooled down. When anything in range, is what you're getting your ass whooped with, and this includes other family members being in range and jumping in.
You greet them people when you get in the house, when you wake up too
"I ain't one of your lil' friends"
"gone ova there and wrench it off"
"don't be runnin' in and out my house - either ya'll inside or outside"
"ya'll smell like outdoors"
I knew early what a ho bath was
Thats what my folks called wrenching off!
Right!! Or “Don’t forget who you talking to!”
"Wrench it off" 😭
I'm from the South, it was: "y'all smell like outside, go get in the tub and baze" 😂😂😂aka "bath."

When you’re crying and they say “better stop all that crying or imma give you something to cry about”
