Lessons I learned in Catholic School 1: Bitches be Triflin'

     So I thought it would be a fun idea to put up some stuff from my childhood.  I decided on a series of community trips I had to take when I went to St. Agatha.  That's right! I went to Catholic grade school, with priests and everything ( No none of them ever did) (yes I probably would have let them).  So let's start with our book reading/ donating field trip.

    One of our community trips was reading to underpriveledged children at a shelter.  I forget the name of the shelter but it was essentially a free preschool for the children of unwed teenage mothers  (baby mamas, whores, hos, skanks, hoodrats, sluts...and women in bad situations).... Anyway so we arrive there for this fieldtrip which is noticibly different from my school.

      You see that!! That's unfair we never got a concrete tubing with graffiti on the inside to use as a tunnel. Nor did we get cool slides with fancy duct tape in the middle. Life is for sure unfair.  I didn't write playground on the sign on the gate because I want to know where your mind goes.  When I see the gat I don't think "playground" I think "Lion enclosure" and yes the gate really was like that, but you know, you've got to take extra precaution when you have nice shit like that.

     I don't want to be racist and will write this disclaimer now. The room I was in had only black kids in it.  Not to say other rooms didn't have other kids of other religions, races, orientations, w/e...but mine had like 8-10 little black kids.  Awesome kids too. I knew I would like them becuase they only argued about sensible things.  Like Who gets to be Spider-man.

                                
Not long after I got ther this fight broke out, and was almost immediately reconciled by the teacher.  However it had a lasting impressions on me.  A) cuz these were like 6 y/os cussing and fist fighting.  When I was 6 y/o do you know what I did for conflict resolution? I cried! B) Because it made me wonder how many fist fights have been started in the name of deciding "who Spida-man"...ps...I'm Spider-man.

When we got into the class we had to wait until after the kids were done with their food and activities to read to them. Basically we hung out with them all day.  So I colored. The girl next to me. I don't remember had a trifling issue with the other girls, in that they be triflin'.

Just to play devils advocate urbandictionary.com defines triflin' as:

"Man, you didn't wash yo' ass after sleeping with that girl?! You just triflin'!!"

shes trifling, she says one thing-does another

 

....yeah..so..here's the picture already

 

                             

This girl really hates how bitches be triflin' and I totally agree. In fact she was the triflin' police...Which correct me if I'm wrong, is triflin'

 

So then I read these kids their story (it was a Seasame Street Book) and they were actually quiet for like 10min.

                                  

 I felt soo adult and helpful and like wow I inspired these dumbass kids with Seasame Street and now they won't be so dumb.  Then I made the mistake of breaking the silence barrier.

                                  

So I gave the book to the kids and prepared to rejoin my class. On the way out I saw one of the kids drawing a dick on the book cover...Art is subjective...

 

So I didn't have videos in my repretoire that fit this exactly persay but here are videos which are either seasame street or ghetto related

 

 

**note** videos not mine...but you know that..
