I'm actually surprised I've gone this long without writing something about my brother. For the sake of anonymity lets call him Scar.(Get it?) I'm going to need to give you some back ground information on Scar. That nigga crazy! There's no other way to put it. Dude has no type of sense. Good intentions though, most of the time. My brother has never had a problem attracting women (He looks like me, what do you expect?) All races, ages and backgrounds, we don't discriminate when delegating the pipe, wait did I say we? I meant HE.
So over the years dude has brought home some rather interesting chicks. One thing they all had in common, other than a love a big black men, is that they were all what most people would consider attractive. Big butts, Nice racks, decent faces. Dude does well for himself, rather he did well for himself. his last relationship ended a little over a year ago and then he's been doing his fair share of pipe slinging.
For Obama's inauguration my family all met up at my aunts house to watch the day's events. As customary when visiting my aunt we bring dates. So my brother decides to bring this one female from around the way that he's friendly with .been giving the pipe too. Now, saying this chick is slightly different than the women we're accustomed to seeing him with would be an understatement. Shorty was busted. I stress the word shorty cause she was barely five feet tall. Not even 100lbs. My brother eat chicken legs bigger than this chick. So we get to my aunt's and shes greeting us as walk in the house. In come my brother., aunt gives him a kiss on the cheek in comes shorty. My Aunt lets out a quick "oh" than catches herself. The rest of the afternoon is rather uneventful, the real action took place the next day on the phone between my aunt and my mother;
Auntie: We have to talk
Ma: What's wrong?
Auntie: Who was that girl that Scar brought over yesterday.
Ma: I don't know, some girls he's talking to, why?
Auntie: Well, she was like the girls I'm used to seeing Scar with, is something going on with him?
Ma: What do you mean?
Auntie: You know what I mean [mothers name], shes ugly!
Ma: You know, your ridiculous. I know the girl is ugly, thats none of my business.
Needless to say my aunt wasn't the only person who felt like this, myself and my mother each received phone calls from multiple family member concerned that my brother might have lost his mind, or at least his vision. He chose NOT to bring her to the next family outing.

Lmao that was just too funny...By the way did you ever stop to ask your brother why he changed his dating/pipe slinging preference??
ReplyDeleteI have a story not of me but of my cousin and his dating preference, now he's gay so just imagine the reaction of the fam who are faithful christians *sometimes*.....like some families we have family dinners from week to week at each other homes and for the past 2 months of our weekly family dinner my kuz brought this guy each and every time as his "friend" now I knew who home boy was but my aunt and mother did not. This man isn't at all that ugly in fact he kinda cute where the issue lie is he is extremely skinny for a male at his age (24) to make long story shot the fam thought he was gay wit AIDS to their surprise they were 1 outta 2 when kuzzo finally came out wit it at the dinner table you could have sworn it was like a new war lol for some reason everyone started blaming each other. Like 3 fist fights broke out, till this day there's no more family dinners *smh*
It matters very much to me. So much that if my family didn`t like him and still didn`t after some time into the relationship, then I would have to reconsider the relationship. Who wants to feel guilty every time they go on a date with their SO?
ReplyDeleteIf my mother doesnt like him and have a valid excuse for it, then I have to say they have more experience; they are thirty years ahead of me. But for the most part, she's been right about a few so..
It doesn't matter to me what my family thinks because they are not the ones that see or interactive with the person that I am dating. I will listen to their opinions but at the end of the day it is my decision if I want to be with that person or not.
ReplyDeleteWow that story is funny. Had your whole family calling? *smh* Some how I can see my family, immediate, extended and church, do that exact same thing.
ReplyDeleteMy family's approval definitely means a lot to me. Recently a guy came over to the house to chill. I thought it was all good until the next day when my whole family got into a discussion (ok grilling) about him. It was nuts. You woulda thought I was going to marry him and they needed to have an intervention before the wedding. Now I wasn't really feeling him romantically anyway, but if my family feels that strongly about someone I'm dating then I really have to examine the guy. Now if after trying to make it work and trying to get them to come together they can't get along or still ain't feeling it dude's got to go. My fam is everything to me. They have yet to steer me wrong and I truly value their opinion.
