jiggery-pokery deceitful or dishonest behavior
leave it to Anton Scalia to explain wha it is
leave it to a Republicant to have
colourful language
he got jigaboo from his father
he was in a Chicago city bus with his Mom
he was littlewas standing on the seat he couldnt take his
eyes off the man sitting behind them
Look Mamma its a jigaboo
she slapped him in the back of the headsounded like a gunshot to him though she didnt slap him hard
enough to make him cry or knock him down a tempered slap who wants their kid balling on a pubic bus
How dare you, how DARE you; you
apologize to the gentleman immediately, immediately.
I apologise mister
apologise was a different animal than
sorry his mother taught him that people
who say they are sorry arent if they
were truly sorry theyd say I apologise
Dat’s awright, boy.
his mother turned on her hip and
looked the gentleman in the face
I apologize too. The boy
is repeating his grandfather, his father, and when my husband gets home tonight he’s going to wish he hadn’t. I am terribly sorry, and I am ashamed of my
son’s mouth. I hope you can forgive him, and forgive me.
Forgive nuthin', ma’am, I be called worse.
And that should not be. We’re
people, all of us are people . . she poked him in the ribs . you listening, child, this gentleman is every bit
a man your father is, your grandfather is.
Do you have children, sir?
I do. Two children. A girl and a
boy, we done. Children is an expensive habit. he smiled quickly
she laughedshe didnt cover her
mouth Don’t we know it, don’t we know it.
he laughed with her
his laugh was deep and melodious
he had big white teeth
they were very bright against his black skin
he immediately liked the man
Well, you two have to
forgive me, my stop. You listen to your Mamma, boy, she got a good head
on her shoulders. Too bad more people don’t think like she an me.
he nodded to his Mom Have a fine day, ma’am.
were they on the
street he would have tipped his hat but his
hat sat on his lap his Momma told him
that gentlemen dont wear their hats inside a bus inside a building church or someones home
It
reveals a poor nature, possibly ill-mannered, impolite, it’s a hint to their upbringing,their personality. You give those people a wide berth, give them plenty of room; because if they’re going down
they’re going to take someone with them or will try to finger someone else for being at
fault.
Mind my words, boy.
he minded her words
when his father got home that
eveningnot but a second after he came in through the back door she lit in on
him
In the future you'll keep your filthy words to yourself. He’s a boy, and he’ll not grow
up thinking people’s color make a difference in the person they are. You hear
me?!
I hear you.
You gonna mind me?! ‘Cause I’ll
make your life a living Hell; got me?
I hear you.
he was sheepish maybe theyd had this conversation before
Yup he thought his Papa would mind her words too
