Ok lol this is too ghet-to but I personaly relate to it alot:

1. Have you ever been called downstairs from upstairs or the back of the house, or from the front of the house to get the remote, change the channel, or fix him/her a glass of ice water .

2. Have you ever been hit with an extension cord, a switch, or the nearest shoe.

3. Have you ever had to pick your own switch off the tree and she sent you back because the one you picked was too little.

4. Have you ever been burned on your ear with a straightening comb.

5. Have you ever been hit in the head or knuckles with a comb or hairbrush.

6. Have you ever been told to "Shut Up or I'll give you something to cry about while she beats you with a belt-pronouncing every syllable ---"Did-n't --- I --- tell --- you --- not--- to-do --- that ---no --- more?!"

7. Your ponytails were so tight, you got those little bumps around your scalp.

8. The white people in the school office (principal, secretary, etc.) were afraid of her.

9. You were scared to go home when you had a bad report card.

10. Alcohol, peroxide! de, cocoa butter, and Vaseline were the main items in the bathroom cabinet.

11. You were never "on punishment"-just got whooping right out the shower.

12. Have you ever been pinched for going to sleep in church.

13. She made you participate in every church activity (choir, Jr. Usher Board, Easter play, Christmas play, etc.)

14. Has she ever come inside and picked you up from a school dance in hair rollers and her gown or pajamas on under her coat.

15. When you ask her for something, her response is..."You got a job?"

16. Have you ever been beaten for something your brother or sister did, just because you were around.

17. She vacuums everyday just so the carpet can have lines in it.

18. Have you ever been told t! o turn off the TV, get off the phone, or sit down and be quiet when it's storming outside because the Lord was doing his work.

19. Friends, family and friends of the family try to keep you out of trouble because they know your mother and how she is.

20. You were afraid to call the child abuse hotline.

21. She has to pray to GOD..."Lord, please don't let me hurt this child!!" before she gives you a whipping.

I can relate to many of those, although I was never raised Christian nor did I wear ponytails(I'm a guy). But my mother did definitely came from the "old school of Black Mothers".

I'm "C", c'mon. I had most of these(except the ponytail stuff) and more. I used to get beatdown with Hotwheel tracks. What kind of shit is that? Beat you ass on christmas day with your own gift
