Ever since my Rust College debut back in August, I’m beginning to have a different understanding to a lot of things. For instance, I learned just yesterday evening that certain people have very stupid reasons for not liking me. I also received a quick refresher course that some people are just stupid for no other reason than just to be stupid.
Let me tell y’all what I mean: Ruby, Theo, and I were leaving the cafeteria yesterday evening, just minding our own business, and this girl just walked right up in my face and said, “You know what, you really make me sick!”
Me being who I am, I just gave the girl a bewildered look. Ruby, on the other hand, is very quick-tempered. As a matter of fact, Ruby stood in front of me and told the girl: “You got a problem with my homegirl, then you got a problem with me, so come on—step yo ass up so I can knock yo ass back down!”
The girl was very quick to say that she didn’t have a beef with Ruby, just with me. I immediately caught a hold of Ruby’s arm and assured her that I could handle this matter. Ruby begged me to let her go so she could “whup that ass,” but I wouldn’t dare do that, and neither would Theo. After calming Ruby down, I looked at the girl and said very calmly, “Okay, Chick—explain yourself: What is your so-called beef with little ol’ me?”
“You just make me sick!” the girl sneered. “You always smilin’ and laughin’, when ain’t nothin’ funny, and you got your family comin’ out here throwin’ you birthday parties and sh**, like you real special and sh**!”
I looked at Ruby and Theo, and broke out laughing. Afterwards, I said, “First of all, Hon, you’re gonna have to come up with a more definitive reason for not likin’ me. Secondly, just because you got picked last in kickball when you were in pre-school, don’t take it out on me. And the final thing I have to say to you is…”
I simply walked away with Ruby and Theo, leaving that girl standing there and looking stupid. To take a quote from my Grampa Clark: I understood it to her so she knew where I was comin' from!
I will admit that I wanted to cuss that heffa out, but in hindsight, I realize that it was not worth it. Besides, it would’ve done nothing but add fuel to the fire, and then too, I was not about to stoop to her level, unless she put her hands on me. Then and only then would I have given her a first class trip Downtown L.A., and I don’t mean my hometown, either!
Until tomorrow, take care—and please keep your girl lifted up in prayer.
