basically becoming a bag lady, carrying trash around.
But it was weirder than that. She would collect the trash,
and she’d mail it back to the companies that manufactured
it. She would say that’s how she recycles and keeps the post
office in business. That’s how she would spend her disability
checks, mailing trash back to the companies that it came
from.
When you’d go into her apartment, she had mve kids’ car
seats that she found. I don’t know where she found them.
And mve piggy banks of the same type. My favorite
character was Wonder Woman, so she had mve Wonder
Woman piggy banks, mve Hello Kitty piggy banks. Like, mve
of whatever our favorite characters was as kids, for each
one of my brothers and sisters. Five of everything, for each
one of her kids.
Everywhere she went, she wanted to carry one of these
bags of trash with her.
Tiffany: “Well, I’m going to take you to the Walmart.
We gonna shop. Leave your trash at home. Leave it at
home.”Mama: “It’s not trash. It’s not trash. This is recycling. I
am helping the environment. I am removing my
footprint. What are you doing for the environment?”Tiffany: “I’m taking you to Walmart to buy you some
stuff. That’s what I’m doing.”
