Kids With Weird, Scarring Names
This girl I work with, Taneice, had a couple of interesting stories tonight. She is black and white, her husband is black and then there's her son, Mikey, mostly black but somewhat white. This is relevant, I promise. Mikey (5-years-old) goes to a private school on the east side (a.k.a. snotty, stuck-up side of town). His class is predominately white. So there's this little white girl in his class whose name is (I swear I'm not making this up) - Praise Jesus. I swear. She's going to grow up to be a devil worshiper or something. What kind of parent would do that to their kid?? This mom was asking Taneice about her son whom she referred to as "the little African-American boy." And then she goes, "Is that right?" as in is that politically correct, and Taneice said, "Well, I just call him Mike." Crazy stupid people.
Then she was saying how all the girls in Mikey's class just love him. This one girl wanted a kiss from him and Taneice didn't like that so Mikey said no, that he'd get in trouble. Then this big girl came over wanting a kiss and Taneice goes, "Mike, she's kinda big." Mikey said, "Big girls need lovin' too! Haven't you ever seen 'Friday?'"
