11 Things My Trini Mother Taught Me
I know for most Trinidadians they may find this "joke" funny but just to show you the cultural aspect of the whole thing. Is there really something to laugh about? I think is very sad actually and it reflects exactly the mentality of what we talk about in many threads.
QUOTE 1. My Mother taught me about ANTICIPATION.
' Chile , just wait till we reach home.'
2. My Mother taught me about RECEIVING.
'Yuh go get ah good cut ass when we reach home!'
3. My Mother taught me to MEET A CHALLENGE.
'What d ass yuh thinkin bout? Answer meh when ah talk to yuh... Chile ...doh talk back to me!'
4. My Mother taught me CONSEQUENCES.
'If yuh run across de road an' ah car lick yuh dong, ah goin' kill yuh wid licks.'
5. My Mother taught me THE VALUE OF EDUCATION.
'If yuh doh go to school, yuh go pick up garbage on de street.'
6. My Mother taught me HUMOR.
'If yuh doh eat food, breeze goin' blow yuh 'way.'
7. My Mother taught me how to BECOME AN ADULT.
'Come an' tek yuh licks like ah man.'
8. My Mother taught me about SEX.
'Yu tink yuh come from de sky?'
9. My Mother taught me about GENETICS.
'Yu dey jus' like yuh fadda.'
10. My Mother taught me about WISDOM OF AGE.
'When yu get to be as ole' as me, yuh go understan'.'
11. And my all time favorite... JUSTICE.
'One day wen yu have children, ah hope dey treat yuh de same way.'
