Overheard At The Bus Stop...
Or Welfare Mamma Rollcall!


Her: You didn't know she was mine?
Him: Uh-uh.
Her: Nee-Nee! Cedra! Bri! Cedrick! Myron! Get over here!
(*note the one son isn't in the group as he's been suspended from the bus for 30 days)
Her: Bri! Bri! Bri! What is wrong with you???

Me: *thinking, not speaking* What is wrong with YOU not her???

I'm really tripped by this woman - she's the one with the son with discipline issues who's daddy is locked up. I don't know that she IS a welfare mamma but she's got the whole sterotypical welfare mamma look and attitude. She's been at the bus stop in her night gown and slippers. Well I don't know that I've ever seen her in any other foot wear other than slippers honestly. She's a big woman, nothing wrong with that, and she comes off as being rather lazy - she generally drives her kids to the bus stop instead of walking the block to it, and she often remarks that she's going back home to go back to sleep. She perplexes me.
