My inner black woman....no really! She's in there!

So....yes I admit it, I have an inner black woman.

I know, I am white...dang it. I can't even TAN I am so white!!

We joke that we have an African American child...my black pug...he is so cute, I always say he looks like his daddy! (see below pics)

see don't they look alike?

Ok so they don't that much, but you know, genetics are weird! I say this because while there are 2 black men that are a part of my family by marraige and adoption, they are Nigerian and not quite the woman that lives inside me. This is a woman that my children joke about, they hate it when she comes out, she usually starts off with "CHILD....are you sayin what you think I think you are sayin?" or "NO you did NOT just SASS YOUR MOTHA!" then it's over! She's out, sometimes for the WHOLE day. Snappin and sassin right back!

My son hates it! He regularly rolls his eyes at me just to tell me how rediculous it is and how much he hates her. BUT, she gets the job done! I mean DONE! These kids start to MOVE when she is around, so I named her, yes, I named her, one of my dearest oldest friends will laugh when I say her name is TAWANDA! yes the FRIED GREEN TOMATOS TAWANDA!

Tawanda comes out and gets people movin! Gets the dishes DONE, gets the laundry hung up, the floors mopped and all manner of chores and life lessons, or as Kevin Leahman says it "teachable moment" stated.

Ain't NO WAY you ignore an angry black woman, just ask Tyler Perry....he got it right!

So you all just come on ova and get some pie, because I got more tales to tell than you are tall...

I love Tawanda, and I encourage you to find your inner black lady, bet she is FULL of wisdom and sass, everyone needs both of those...now I got to go tan because us white ladys are just buzzing around being boring vats of vanilla yougart, we don't even have a story to tell or a movement to get behind, out civil rights don't get violated very often, none of our leaders were assisnated, and the biggest movement we are behind is pink, so here we are, we have arriven and we have opportunity and time, and should use it to bless others and influence the world to help and create and be, not just sit around complaining because someone stole our parking place! Get behind something unpopular, something that has grass roots, learn something from those women who REALLY struggled....let your kids know that taking out the garbage is NOT suffering....so Get some sass and move your.....self. *wink*
