Okay! Okay! I have shared 2 of my “Meme” stories with you all. I think that it’s only fair I share a story about her older sister Jasmine. She is now 18 and she is the real live version of Lisa Simpson in terms on brains and personality… all the way down to the saxophone. Yet for a brief period when she was around 4, she mistakely cause her mother and I quite a bit of frustration and confusion. We were always very careful not to curse in front of our children, yet someway somehow, little Jasmine picked up a new word and used it in the most unusual way. One day, her mother and I were watching TV in the living room and we heard our little girl crying…
“What’s wrong, baby?” As I picked Jasmine up, “Why you crying baby girl?”
“I fucked my leg, Daddy!”
“Excuse me?!” I put her back down.
“I fucked my leg on the table.”
Immediately her mother gives me the evil eye. I didn’t know what the fuck she was looking my ass for. I’m not the type of motherfucker that curses all the damn time. LOL
So Jasmine continues to use the word “fuck” in place of the words “hit or hurt”. She wouldn’t do it on purpose. She would catch herself and apologize irremediably. She would only do it when she was really hurt or someone hit her, usually accompanied by a waterfall of tears. Yet one day, baby girl took it too far.
We’re at her grandmother house for Sunday dinner and it’s getting late. Jasmine’s mother informs her that it’s time to get ready to go home and she throws a minor fit. Not the one to be embarass in his mother-in-law’s house, I give her a quick tap on the hand and tell to settle down. Jasmine proceeds to run into her Grandma’s bedroom crying and screaming at the top of her lungs.
“GRANNY! GRANNY! DADDY JUST FUCKED ME!”
GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY!!
