I can remember an older male friend of mine saying I was a nut and in the same sentence he said I actually got a B in one of my college classes that wasn’t an easy class. I remember him because he always calls me Black Beauty and he will often shout that Black is Beautiful. This is a 72 year old Italian man but he says these things. I have to admit it surprised me that he really liked me and saw me as a Black Beauty. I love knowing that. I even wrote a poem about him. I am big mama and he’s big daddy. At our New Year Eve party on December 31, 2016 Lou walked past me and I swear to God he asked me “what are you in third grade?” I had passed him and I was messing with a noise maker and wearing a New Year party hat. He asked that question for a good reason but still. At Lasley’s picnic he said I was psychotic. I see a psychiatrist but my mind plays weird tricks on me all the time.
There are so many coffee brands out there but Chock-full-of nuts takes the coffee award…!
