Me and Bobby Brown meet Keisha Coles

Family drama, gotta luv it.
You ever knew a family that from the outside they look like they crap don't stink and that their roses smell like tulips? I mean in church they sit in the first row and catch the spirit or they spike a fever and have seizures right at the climax of the preacher's word. Do you know the family. The family that's always giving to the needy and on every community service board in the neighborhood... well, I am here to tell yah, that if you know a family like that, and it's looking like the grass is greener on the other side well in the words of Tom "DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT!"

They crap stink worse than yours!

My girl had a meeting with her family because their drama was making her sick. They walked around passing judgment on people like they were the ones designated to sit on God's right side... i mean she just felt her energy being zapped whenever she was around them...all they did was have "conversation" about other people...about what they weren't doing or who they were doing and why they needed to pray more, or save more , or do more. They helped people then turned around and talked about them... oh they used me cuz they ate four plates of food. well dang, didn't you just tell them to eat all they wanted cuz you had plenty more and all you do is throw it all away cuz your family don't eat leftovers? i mean and didn't they just disclose to you that they only been eating oodles and noodles for the last month? They bought gifts then got offended if the people didn't thank them for that gift everytime they met. wth. the best gift is the one you forget you gave.

well, anywho, so my girl had a meeting and all the skeletons started leaping out the closets and busting out their premature graves and instead of people accepting accountability for their actions, they hit their selective amnesia button and played dumb.. or maybe it wasn't an act.
So after the back and forths and the neck swaying and the finger rolling, the family parted, going their separate ways, missing the opportunity to really bond as a family because they were too worried about who could overhear the fact that they weren't as on point as they put out to be, or they were too shock to discover that the words they said in the dark had found the light...or maybe they were mad that someone finally had the audacity to pull their card... who knows


All I know is this, we need to stop faking the funk! Last time I checked, noone was perfect, and the sooner we get this through our head, the faster we can make forward progress. We need to stop putting on pretensions and fronts and making other people feel bad because we all got something to work on. If more people embraced whatever it was that life dealt them, like Keisha and Whitney, we would have a lot more people tending to their own lawns versus looking over the fence..

just my rant!
