fathers just have a way of talking to you with a tone that makes it clear they will fold you 100 different ways if you utter another fukking word.

i remember my pops said some shyt one time like, "the way you talking, this is only gonna end one way. whether or not you're ready for it aint gonna matter. keep talking."

ME: :dwillhuh::ohhh::jbhmm::huhldup::to:


3 HOURS LATER, AFTER MY POPS LEFT THE HOUSE: :russ::ufdup:


My pops used to say soul shattering shyt like that too:damn:

If i told you about the last ass whooping he gave me when I was 12:mjcry:

So excited about this. You have no idea.:mjcry:

I read the play in college. This and The Piano Lesson, also by August Wilson, are good. There's soooo many really good books and plays in the canon of American black literature that could/should be adapted. I'm really looking forward to this one though.

Really good story.

mannnnnnnnnnnnnn... i remember i had my tough phase around 9, 10 years old. decided i wouldn't cry when i was getting my ass whooped after reading some silly ass book that talked about why people cry (it was about your feelings, not your physical. lol, my dumb ass).

shyt worked on my mom. i would sit there on some norman bates zombie shyt like...

and she'd get so frustrated she'd just stop swinging the belt after a while.

pops caught wind of that shyt tho and snatched the belt next time i was due to get lit up.

Pops: Hold out your hands.
Me: :feedme:
(lick one)
Me: :feedme:
(lick two)
Me: :beli:
(lick three)
Me: :sas2:... :sas1:
Pops: Oh you think you tough little nikka!?!?!
(pops does the Von Miller swim move past my hands)
(pops grabs one of my ankles like a turkey leg on Thanksgiving)
(suddenly i'm floating upside down, with pop's old-man strength being the only thing saving me from a broken neck)
(one arm holding me by my fukking ankle, one arm holding the belt, pops administers licks' 4-through-whateverittakestomakeyourlittleassunderstanditISNOTafukkINGGAME)
Pops: :ufdup:
Me: :sadbron:
Moms: :yeshrug:
Sis: :russ:

Y'all got to check Doubt the movie with Viola and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, movie subject is fukked up but Viola small role stole the show.

Doubt is so slept on...

I got it as a modern day classic...

The subject matter that is touched on in that movie is :wow:
