Say a prayers for the victims of Katrina


Today I invoke my solemnitude on behalf of those who lost they lives and they homes. Say a prayers everybody, for these people. I seen pictures up on the tv of the devestational wreck that New Orleans is now. And that city used to be ON! And I am sure it will be soon. But for now, let's just say a prayer.

I knew this white girl name Katrina back in da day. She had this long hair and big ol hairsprayed-up bangs. She always had a bow in her hair. One day she drop it without noticing in the hallway. I seen it fall off her & just walk on without it. I scooped it up, planning on givin it the snatch. But I looked at it. It had writings on it.

"World's Best daughter"

Ooh girl I got all sad and start thinkin bout my Daddy. He died awhiles back. If I had anything like this to remember him by girl, I would kill to keep it. So instead of snatchin it, I ran up to her down the hallways and told her she drop it.

"You stole it didn't you?" she yell at me.

I calmly and collectedly tole her no and tried to explain . She did not believe me. She go on about I always stealing thing from people and I need to be arrested and put in juvie. (Back in the day i was a bit of the cleptomaniacal). She had her point. Again I calmly tole her if I had a bow like this, from my Dad, who died, I'd want it. She tole me I probably killed my dad.

It was on. I grapped her long hair and body slammed that chick onto a couch near the principal office. I took that bow and ran down the hallway screamin "This one for you Daddy! This one for you!"

The school police caught me and I went to juvie for a month. They caught me cuz that day I wore flip flops and couldn't get over that fence behind the school. From that day on I vowed to never wear flip flops again. But every summer since then they come out with these super-cheap flip flops for sale all over the place. They real junky, but cheap. When a pair wear out, I just wear them to the store, buy a new pair and throw the old pair away.

I saw Katrina when i got back from juvie. She ask me if the thing about my Dad was true. I said yeah and I did not kill him. She apologizes. We end up becomin friends for the rest of the year. And you know what? (Oooh my eyes are gettin squishy from thinkin bout it) One day she come up at me with a box. I open it up and there was a bow inside. It said "World's Best Daughter"! Mmm I have to got to cry now y'all.

Say a prayer for them Katrina victims and ya'll kiss yo daddy for me.
