***A necessary quote***

A boy comes into my room.

“How are you Mr. Castanola (spelling butchered to emphasize punctuation).

Fine D… and you?

Good. Mr. Castanola can I get some candy?

I don’t think that is a good idea. A man of your energy does not need more sugar. Hey, D… who do you live with.

***My mama, my step daddy – who is also my cousin, my three brothers, and my sister.” ***

I’m sorry. I had to restrain my laughter. It’s not funny. They live in a small three bedroom apartment in the projects and he has to share a bed with his brother. No, forget that, it is funny in a sick and twisted sort of way. C’mon now. Don’t marry your cousins.
