Now I'm having these momentswhere I remind myself.
My parents, that's the worstthing that could ever happen.
My mother was crazy.
I don't know if anybody grew upwith a mom with a daddy voice.
That shit is scary.
When your mama sound like agrown man, that's frightening.
When a woman got a grown manvoice, they ain't never happy.
She like, "Everybody, shut thefuck up and go to bed, now!
I'm sick of this!"
"We just got home--""I don't care, shut up.
You hear my voice,I'm not happy."
So, I mean, we hada moment we irritated her,
like, she had some shrimpfried rice,
and to a poor black family,when somebody bring us
some outside food, that'sa big deal-- "Oh, shit."
You know, like...we could smell it.
And she had thisshrimp fried rice.
We was being little kids.
We were just begging, "Ooh,Mama, can I have some?
"Ooh, Mama, please,can I have some?
Ooh, Mama, I want some..."
She go, "Oh, canI have, I want!
"Can I have, I want!
"Can I have, I want!
"I can't haveshit to myself!
"Your daddy bought me thisfried rice for my anniversary.
"This is my anniversaryfried rice.
"Why don't you eatthe fuckin' hot dogs I made.
"I had boiled hot dogsfor y'all.
"But you don't care, 'cause youin here, can I have, I want!
Can I have, I want!"
