Family Ties

If I may (and I will), share something so deeply personal with you, I ask that you not slap me back with it at any time during the course of our relationship.

I believe each of us is born with a special set of circumstances we’re challenged with. Maybe your folks co-mingled and couldn’t rub 2 nickels together. Maybe you feel some kinda way about people who can’t because you have DNA that got you into an ivy league school and now you’re set to rip somebody off with all the education you’ve acquired. Maybe you’re shaped up like your daddy instead of your mama. The point is, have you identified your predicament to work toward a resolution?

Here’s mine. I can’t find the can of ink I purchased from Amazon. I know they dropped it off because I ripped the box open, as I was eager to print my new linocut. You’re talking about frustration, people. Do you realize how much that ink cost me?

And if I could clock half the time I spend looking for things, I wouldn’t have to work any job. None! Heck, I could probably hire folk to find the stuff I lost. In my own house!

I’m just going to re-purchase the ink because it’s been a good two weeks. And to be transparent with you, I haven’t looked as hard as I should. I’m so tired of looking for stuff.

That being said, I thank God I’m not shaped up like my daddy.

  1. The trash. That’s the one place I never look in the beginning where most stuff ends up that shouldn’t.. I’ve learned to check it first.
    Ha! I’m definitely happy I don’t have my dad’s shape. I do, however, have the women in his family’s shape. Lol!
