Reason being is that I do indeed care very much about others especially my co-workers. They even call me “Big Momma” believe it or not. Reason being if I see my boss down talking them I will gladly throw myself in to help them. Nine times out of ten they do the same for me.

I walked over and snatched back the curtains and saw a little boy with a football-shaped head standing there. Just looking at me.

hahaha. When will Byron learn his lesson? I have a feeling this trip is going to be horrible‚ especially since Byron already has plans to make everyone miserable on the way down. Why do you think he is giving the silent treatment? And do you think Momma cares if Byron is silent the whole trip down? Haha I don’t think so. It was also so funny when Byron told a Yo Mama joke to Kenny but they have the same mom so that’s awkward. Hahaha. What intentions do you think the Watsons have for going down south

We start speaking when we’re still toddlers‚ with our first words usually being ‘momma” or “dada”.
