I really hate stupid people... they are fun to make fun of most times but sometimes they can down right get on my f'n nerves. For those of you who know me and my children.. you know that I have a daughter in middle school who is 6'3.. Yes, she plays ball.. Yes, she will probably get a scholarship to college based on her height alone.. However.. to me.. she is JUST MY BABYGIRL.. my ANGEL .. MY MIRACLE..
I feel like I say this over and over and over again but.. I don't see my child as a MEAL TICKET. I don't LOOK for her to buy me a DAMN THING.. All I require from her is that she is a good person and that she hands me a college degree.. If basketball is the way that SHE wants to get that.. that's HER choice.. No one else's..
My BFF told me that it was going to get hard for me and her father around this time in her life because people will be coming at her left and right to play here or there.. and it will only get worse when she goes to high school.. I don't wanna deal with this shit.. My attitude is too bad to deal with vultures and I don't trust ANYONE.. So, talking to smart ass agents and pushy coaches that just want to use her to better their team is not high up on my priority list. But what pisses me off more than the thought of those idiots are the idiots that think they can get in my good graces NOW so that they can CLAIM shit later ..it just makes my eyelashes bleed.
For instance, I posted on my FB page a few days ago.. that she played her first game of her 8th grade year and what she did in the game. Now, I don't know this dude AT ALL other than him trying to talk slick to me.. and that we apparently go to the same church.. Don't know him like that.. Anyway, he goes on to tell me how DISAPPOINTED he is in my daughter's performance and that I need to bring her to HIM so that she can learn the game.
First of all, my daughter is the niece of an all state FEMALE high school basketball player & all city and now an OLYMPIAN.. Her fathers ( biological & step) both are extremely talented ball players along with another Uncle. Another Uncle was a track star and her god father is a track star/coach who works with children in sports.. We aren't going to mention my friend in Memphis who plays with her and coaches her.. or her Uncle who coaches an AAU team... Does it seem as if she needs anymore HELP? I think NOT!
After I gracefully... (yes it was graceful dammit.. I didn't cuss .... THEN) put him in his place.. He comes BACK to me to tell me that he went and talked to some other middle school players about her... this conversation turned into a gossip session about my child where threats were made about hurting her if they ever ran into her.. BECAUSE he was telling them that she was better than them.. etc. etc. Again.. we don't know you from a can of PAINT.. so who asked you to go start conversations with children YOU don't even know about a CHILD you never met.. Never seen... never spoke too and now have put down OTHER children to the point where they want to HURT my daughter..
Let me tell you something about ME... You can SAY what you want and DO what you want to ME.. But if you so much as BREATHE wrong at my children.. you will have to answer to me. I take being a mother EXTREMELY serious.. Some may say too much.. But I am going to protect them at every cost.. Now, I know most of you are thinking.. This just children talking.. But children talking today turns into .. I have to prove something.. and if they think for half a millisecond that they will make a point with my child.. they better do their homework. I FIGHT KIDS!.. THEIR PARENTS.. GRANDPARENTS.. UNCLES... AUNTS.. NEIGHBORS.. CLERGY.. whatever .. when it comes to the safety of my babies...
With that being said.. Know that if something does jump off.. after I jump off the top of their damn heads.. I will jump right on top of his for starting this shit. These children are killing each other now a days and my family has suffered enough with murder...
.. Another thing that URKS the hell outta me is the fact that because my daughter is BLACK.. people ASSUME that she NEEDS to play basketball to go to college.. Not the case.. We have had a college fund for them ALL.. for years.. But if we didn't.. know that if I had to sell my ASS, my Hair.. and all my possessions for them to go to college.. I would make it happen. Not ALL black people are lazy, irresponsible parents as those idiots would like to think. I will do anything for my children BUT sell their souls to the devil ... for them to be successful.. That's what a REAL parent would do..
So... MIDDLE then INDEX to all you assholes that think that my child is MY MEAL TICKET...I don't live THROUGH my children.. I LIVE BECAUSE of them.. and if you can't see that.. Please remove yourself from OUR lives as fast as you can.
Now don't get me wrong.. if my daughter doesn't ever pick up another basketball.. I couldn't care less.. But since she does want to play.. I will ALWAYS be there to support anything POSITIVE that she or does.. I will jump, scream, cheer, cry, cuss out a ref or whatever because I am proud of her and her teammates.. They could be doing ALOT of other things but they CHOOSE to do something positive and I will be the first one in line when any of them need me.. Not so that I can say.. "well remember when I did this or that for YOU" but so that they KNOW that no matter what.. SOMEONE SEES THEM AS MORE THAN A MEAL TICKET!....
You see.. a ball player..
I see an angel... I love you babygirl...
