“The first is that it’s the last day before I can take two days off school. I like to think of it as a non-altercation suspension. Plus the weekend was when me and Ma actually did stuff—and not just watch movies and avoid homework—because she didn’t work on weekends and took early morning online nursing classes to get them out of the way. And when she was done, we would clean the house (I was in charge of the living room), Ma would give me her version of a haircut (she always got most of it even...), then give herself one, and then we would go over my aunt Sophie’s house. Aunt Sophie is my mom’s younger sister, and she’s like the coolest lady ever. She has a tattoo on her arm that says SWEETIE PIE that I never asked about, but always stared at just because I can’t wait to get one. But mine ain’t gonna say nothing like that. Mine’s is gonna say WORLD’S GREATEST or, of course, GHOST. Anyway, on the weekends, Aunt Sophie and my mom sit around and play cards and crack jokes and eat corn chips with cheese dip and drink beer, and sometimes they let me and King, Aunt Sophie’s son, sit with them and play.MoreLessRead More Read Less
