Father’s Day Recap
Yesterday was father’s day [big up to Mr. Cool - my daddy - yea...I call dat nigga daddy....lol] any who…so my high and low of fathers day is as follows:
Low
I received the following text message:
Happy Non-Fathers day. Congrats on making it another year without having a baby’s mama. Keep it pimpin playa
I want you to know my cell phone def got the side eye off of this message…
like…isn’t father’s day the day in which we acknowledge those who actually have taken their responsibility of the male contributor to an individuals life? So why demean this day with such tomfoolery?! Like I hate it when black people insist on setting us back…happy non father’s day…scoff
Like really…if you are really that concerned about not having a baby mama…try celibacy…
and before I step off of my soap box…
I think I dont like the fact that there are father’s day cards for single moms. Like really…your work is appreciated as a mother…but dude…you such a mom…like…your not a dad…like the only way I’d consider giving a woman a fathers day card is if her child calls her dommy or maddy…but until then…dude…ur day is and will only be mothers day…stop trying to take my future day!
high
Phone rings:
Doc: Hello
ST: [mouth pop] hell low
D: hey ST…whats good?
ST: uh uhhhhhhh this is Shaquanetta…and I’m calling you today to get my child support
D: [robust laughter ensues]
ST: I don’t know why u is laughing. I need to know when yo black azz is going to give me my money to support our child [giggles]
D: [robust laughter continues]
Yes…I realize this conversation sets us back too…but…it was funny…where as that text was tasteless
…I may be a hypocrite [shrugs]
Hold up! Me and my sister have given my mom a father’s day card and I see nothing wrong it. My mother or dommy as you put it has fulfilled both roles in my life so she deserves recognition for both. Hey I give my dad a shout out on that day too, she just tends to get more. lol!
*tears of laughter rolling down my face*
You are too much!
Big-ups to Mr Cool (my father in law) for real. This man is the BADDEST dresser ever! Seriously! And big-ups to my daddy Big Poppa J – nobody does it better!!!!!!!
I hate those stupid text messages…why waste your time on congradulating a man for doing what he is supposed to be doing all year (ridding himself of baby- momma drama) on the most obvious day of the year!? ABSTINEEEEENCE!!!
oh and about fathers day cards for moms….based off of where society is heading we have to be so careful the way we mix gender roles…appreciate your single mom everyday…and mothers day… because our future generations are already being confused with “Timmy has two mommy’s!”
