Grandma

Grandma and me was having sodas and Doritos (I call em 'Tos) two days ago after i got back from visiting my old boss at the hospital. She had a baby boy she name Devonte Ray Cletis. I like Devonte cuz it sound rich. I like Ray cuz it remind me of Ray Charles and Jamie Fox (Ooh he so cute, but I saw him in that airplane movie and it stank!!)...but Cletis? Ain't that a name from that Country Bear show at Disney World? Cletis? Ain't he in Dukes of Hazzard?

Anywayses me and Grandma (I call her Gramaymay) was chewin on some 'Tos, chillin on her front porch. She was tellin me bout when she met Grampy Goo. They was 25 and both workin at the World's Fair sellin foot long hot dogs. One night after work he asked her, while she was bent over scoopin the lard out the fryer, if she wanna go for a walk. They walk all over that World Fair park. Up, down, around and again, talkin and laughin. FInally they said good night. Three dates later and they was courtin, then seein eachother, then datin and finally he asked for her hand. Since they met in a foot long hot dog cart, he thought the ring should look like a hot dog. So he got his friend, this jeweler named Two-Toed Teddy to make a ring shaped like a hot dog bent around her finger. She loved it and still has it.

We polished off a bag of Cooler Ranch and since they was buy one get one free that day, we started on an original flavah bag.

When she finished her story, I told her about Devonte Ray Cletis. She said that Cletis was not a pretty name, but it's a free world and she can name her baby what she wanna name it. Thats fine I said, for a baby that ain't ugly. But this baby ugly AND stupid-named. She passed me the 'Tos and told me to shut up or she'd make me ugly. I laughed and dug up into that bag for some FLAVAH!!
