I Just had to ask...

O.K. so I asked…I had to.

Last nigh, I was sitting in the mall having a cheese on a stick as I waited for all 300 of the vacation pictures to print from my trip. And as I’m sitting there this New Jack grandma sits down next to me with her grandson.

DEFINITION
New Jack Grandma – A grandma who has her kids by 20 and her grand kids by 35. And

I look at the kid and not only does he have a mouth FULL of silver caps, but he has two nice sized CZ earrings in his ear, yes one on both sides! I look at the kid and say hello and he speaks, I ask him how old he is and he says with his best shiny grin TWOOOOO. In my head I’m thinking, Why on erff does this child have these big ass earrings in his ears?

So I sit there and debate with me. Should I ask, I HAVE to ask, I WANNA’ ask so bad. So I ask…

Excuse me, why would one get a baby’s ears pierced at such a young age. And both. Who would do ears for someone that small (inside voice said a boy). And grandma AKA Big Mama, with a top side only grin said. Oooh, gurl, his mama did that. His daddy got two and she wanted him to have two. Lotta’ kids get them now. And that said it for me. Silly young mothers who teach their kids silly things, become silly grandmothers of what I think are abused children. His teeth are ruined at 2, his ears have been pierced since he was 3 months old and his only desire as he sat there in the food court was McDonald’s fries.

And folks wonder why I don’t have children. My kid would be an outcast. His mama would make him wear real shoes, he could not sag, pouting and temper tantrums would be squashed promptly and he would NOT be able to have his ears pierced at two. No matter what the other kids in his pre-school class were doing!

^5...i soo agree or the mothers that put all this 'platinum' on their baby girls (bracelet, necklace, etc.) and they are not old enough to even know what it is...only to prove their ghetto status and the 'ballin' mentality *smh*

A top side only grin. What in the world???? Girl, if I had seen that I woulda had to get up. The look on my face woulda been like fightin words to her. The kids name was prolly Donquanarious or something equally as dumb as his mama.
