Born Blue
“James and Mrs. James said how they was glad I were staying with them for a while. Then they give me some rules I had to follow if I was gonna get along there all right. They said I had to go to school and do all my homework and take a shower every day. I said I been taking a shower sometimes twice a day for the past five years. I said they didn't have to worry, 'cause their rules be easy to follow.
Mr. James said that I would need to respect people and respect people's property and speak the tr...uth and act polite.
Mrs. James said that I had to dress my age and look more proper, and I had to learn to speak correctly 'cause the way I spoke were hard for people to understand.
I said, "Okay, I will learn," even though, near as I could tell, more people spoke like me than them and they was the ones be hard to understand. I didn't mind 'bout none of their rules, though, 'cause I figured if I could just do those things, then I could stay with them and they could be my mama and daddy till I got famous.MoreLess
