First off, my grandma is the cutest lady in all of the land. she is just so....DARLING! she is teeny and down right hilarious and we are so similar that sometimes it's spooky. I think if we were both 25 years old, we would be best friends. well, i think actually we would be the same person.
The other day i was maneuvering around myspace and i came across my baby brother's myspace page. The caption under one of his pictures said, "Is your grandma this Gangsta?...Nope." (apparently "..." runs in the family.) Upon further inspection i noticed this picture of my grandma. Hat on backwards, throwing up a peace sign. and YES people, those are her regular glasses that she wears on a DAILY basis.
You can imagine my astonishment and relief! Relief, you ask? Well on occasion, I have been told that i pretend to talk like i live in the hood. After conversations with my boss at work i occasionally throw in a "Word." to end my case. or perhaps i will say, "fo' shizzle, yo" when asked to complete a task. And i call everyone "bro" including my husband. In fact yesterday, after graduation, my husband and my brother pulled up to the gas station and asked me if i wanted anything to eat. my response was "Fo' shizzle, bro! Get me a hostess chocolate snack cake, word." It's as annoying as it sounds but it just comes out of my mouth! it's like i was born this way!
Anyways, i digress. you can imagine my relief when i noticed that my grandma is secretly a home girl just like myself. that means i innately learned it from her and that is just the bomb. Word.
