Hello and welcome to another entry of MY MADNESS. Once again, THANK YOU ALL for the love!! So many people are telling me that they are reading the blog. Now if I can just get you to RESPOND!!! I’LL be cool. But a SPECIAL shout out to my boy RAFAEL, who keeps it SOOOO REAL!!! (Although it may hurt), YOU cannot fault HIM.
Once again, I was speaking with a fellow CBK’er and we really had an opportunity to catch up. It had been a minute since we had the opportunity to speak over the phone, but we really had a positive conversation. I think it was an opportunity for us to realize that we are NOT ALONE in the obstacles we go through as adults. Now as we continue our catch up, I could hear her child ALL UP IN THE BACKGROUND… playing, talking, crying, etc...and it had me think about ALL MY OTHER CBK’ers who have children and they are SINGLE PARENTS as well, and I had a light bulb moment, if you will.
So this question is for YA’LL.. CBK’S, how upset do you get when your child makes you mad, and you really want to do something (like whoop ‘em), but in THAT MOMENT, RIGHT THERE, you think…. DAMMIT you look JUST LIKE YOUR DADDY (or MOTHER)!!! Especially if you don’t like said parent, HAHAHAHA… I actually had that revelation myself with my little cousin the other day. She said something foul that REALLY bothered me (she’s 10) and I was really about to tell her about herself, when all of a sudden I SAW HER FATHER in her FACE!!! Swear, and I realized, I was really bugging.. and I thought, I KNOW my fellow CBK’ers have experienced this one RIGHT HERE. Especially if you are like my fellow CBK’er in the IE, who’s little girl ADDORES HER FATHER!!! So what do you do? Cause as you look at them, you realize, IT’S BECAUSE OF YOUR FATHER/MOTHER WE ARE HERE LIVING UNDER KIM’S ROOF!! Well for me, I had to step away from her, cause I was REALLY about to take it there (and I REALLY don’t know where THERE exactly IS but I digress..) and I had to tell myself, its not her fault she looks like him. And if she wasn’t in my life, I REALLY don’t know what/where I would be. So do I thank him for having her? Isn’t that just encouraging his trifling ways? So CBK’s how do you deal with the “LOOK LIKE “ and STILL figure out a way to keep KIM out of your BUSINESS...
The look-a-like issue is pretty much a non-factor for me and my offspring...since the little mini-me's are my spitting-image anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt may be an issue for their mom though. However, something tells me that when she looks at them, admiring their handsome countenances, she is hit with a MAJOR dosage of ACID REFLUX all up and THROUGH her throat and mouth, at the mere thought that she up-and-left the best thing she would ever experience in life!!! EVER!!! Well, except of course, for that brief encounter she had with Nas back in the 90's when we were seperated and "testing our love...."
Anyhow, as I mentioned, it's not the look-a-like thing that makes me wanna whoop my kids with an extension cord that's been smoldering on the concrete sidewalk all day in the middle of July. No, it's the other sh** that they inherit from their mama that drives me STRAIGHT to Showcase Liqour on Lake Ave.....bits and pieces of her SORRY-ASS personality!!!
Let's take my eldest for example. Look, I understand germs and bacteria can be dangerous and all that...hell, anytime the bum "Top-End Glen" over on Fair Oaks and Woodbury wants to shake my hand I go STRAIGHT IN with the "Obama Pound." Even after that, I still disinfect my knuckles with whatever's close (btw, urine is a GREAT disinfectant....even though you still have to wash your hands after that....uhhhh, nevermind!). But my son is a SUPER germaphobe.....just LIKE his damn mama! I promise you, if he and I were stuck in the middle of the Sahara Desert with smoked-out, Rastafari-type cotton mouth (where you can tuck your lips in front of your teeth and they DO NOT move a centimeter!) and the only water we had was the last bottle of Evian....this little mutha**** wouldn't DREAM of drinking after me!!! He'd rather risk dehydration and possibly death than to even think about sharing a bottle....he wouldn't even consider a damn WATERFALL! That sh** makes me want to snatch him by the "larger than his bottom" top-lip and just pinch and ROTATE! I swear!
The youngest one aint much better. What was genetically passed down to HIM from his mom was that exasperating and downright misdemeanor-inducing "smart-assness." For example, I once asked him if he could please take his Star Wars fighter-pilot toy off of the treadmill. Well, after looking at me just a little TOO sideways, this little miscreant facetiously retorts, "Okay. That's cool. But it's not like you were going to use the treadmill anyway." Pause. Silence. Glare. Stutter. Silence. Blank stare. Finally, I proceeded to pick up a used dish rag and "wet-towel whipped" him directly in the middle of his forehead (btw....it's ALL in the wrist). Even then I just wasn't completely satisfied....it would have been nice to have repeated the act with his mom!
Suffice it to say, it aint always about the "look-a-like" that makes us wanna get Olivia Newton-John on that ASS!!! Often times it is the "act-a-like" that drives us to "Get Physical" with our beloved little crumb snatchers.
Till the next one...
Complete B-L-A-N-K...S-T-A-R-E........
