Tiffany: “Yes, I did. Yes I did.”
It’d be like two dirty dishes that my sister had put in the
sink after I’d washed the dishes. She’d just light my ass up.

didn’t say shit.
Mom: “She’s mne. She’s mne. You know kids is clumsy.
She just clumsy.”
ͳen my mom started beating me on the bottom of my
feet. I don’t know if you ever been hit on the bottom of your
feet, but you feel that through your whole body. You always

your feet. Nobody should do that.

where she would talk about sex and then she’d be like, “We
got to read the Bible now.” One minute she’d be reading
Bible scriptures, and you’d be feeling good and comfortable.
And the next thing you know, she’s snatching you by your
