Why even host something if you gonna hide your shit in the oven?

 

[shtoopid]

my house was always low on utensils. every time i went to somebody's house as i kid i'd always be amazed by how many extra knives, spoons, and forks they had. like damn, these niggas could go 3 days without washing the dishes and be good.

You had salmon ? (Insert wee bay pic)

 

[Already Home_17]

I literally have tears in my eyes thinking about the BBQs that went down at my house as a child. My parents used to hide the good shit in the oven when guests came over. My mom would set the hot dogs, hamburgers, ribs, and chicken out on the table. But if my dad made some steaks, salmon, shish kabobs, pork chops, or something like that on the grill..., that was considered "special." We wasn't sharing that shit. I will never forget going to my mom's [white] coworker's place for a BBQ when I was like 12 and they had jumbo shrimp. I looked dead at that lady when I was making my plate, pointed to the shrimp and said "is that for everybody?" She was like "sure." My mom was soooooo embarrassed. I think the color drained from her face.

I am actually crying tears laughing that it was normal in my family to hide meat in the oven. I would call my mom and talk shit if it wasn't so late

"ah thats some nigga shit..."

when I would hear gunshots around grandmas house when I was a kid

Donny Hathaway told me.


The street corner showed me.


Wasn't till I got to highschool that I realized there was more to the world. I thought everyone lived like us.

 

[EtherealAmotekun]

My folks from the south and sharing food and being neighborly was considered normal. When we had family events perfect strangers could come through and get a plate and be treated like family.

I grew up thinking this was normal and couldn't understand the confusion of my friends or dates when they came through. That's my moms side of the family doe. My dad's side them niggas are an embarassment. They always got some fuck shit goin, in fighting and just being extra as fuck.

 

[Ghost313]

When I first saw a my uncles scrap over a book of foodstamps.

When King Vitamins/Corn Flakes with sugar were the breakfast.

When I learned that my oldest brother was 3 years older than some of my uncles.

When we finished a jar of jelly it was washed and converted into a cup.

When my Mom finished cooking chicken, and poured the grease back in the container.

When we slept 2by the foot, 2 by the headboard.

When I received my older brother's jacket as my NEW winter coat.

When we heard gunshots everybody dropped simultaneously.

When Fried Salami/Bologna sandwiches and sugar water were good dinners.

When we threw a welcome home party for my cousin who did 7 years in jail.

Whenever the Temptations/Chi Lites/Marvin/Stylistics came on radio the house turned into Soul Train.

Shit I could go on and on.

 

[playmaker88]

Aint from a ghetto family at all.. we got more negroes in our fam than the wutang clan/affiliates though

 

[KingFreeman]

We used to keep those small margarine bowls after they were finished and use them as cups, or for cereal. Try and fuck around and get caught with a glass cup, or bowl when we were younger in my house. Shitttt. My sister 34 making 80k and still drinking out bowls and shit lol.

 

[SuperSoaker]

My mom threw a huge ass party for her husban three years ago, DJ and all the works hooked up the food. Lolol well my uncle rolls through with his lady (she a ghetto chick but fine as hell) lol so it's about to a 1:00 am and everybody just chilling having fun when my moms best friend of like 20 years starts talking shit o my uncle (we in the back yard at this point) lol somehow my unles lady and my mom uncles girl start going back and forth, then my moms friend goes "THAT'S WHY YOUR MAN FUKED ME," (my uncle the GOAT when it come to females) so I'm thinking my unles lady bout to the down but instead my uncle shoves her out the way and raises his hand with all the might of god and backhands the fuck out my moms friend bitch was laid out (I'm in shock like damn he hit a female but goddamn if she had it coming) lol the rest is just a blur as the party got shut down as everybody started getting wild loll

I knew my family was ghetto before that, that memory just sticks out since I was a little older (18 at the time)
