I'm So Hungry 2

Things go very wrong…
June 25, 1996
Guess what, it rained. I just had to open my big mouth. Now, we can't go. You know, I caught myself singing, "Rain, rain, go away, come again another day." What's wrong with me? I'm going crazy.

Dad lost his job. Now we have no money. Mother doesn't work because dad doesn't want her to. He says a wife's job is cooking, cleaning, and taking care of her family. That's not what I say. I say, "Woman. You gon' get out there, work, and make it home in time to cook and clean. Either have a family or get a job." Oh yeah, how could I forget. We have no money to get fireworks. We're just gonna have to go to grandma's house. I don't like grandma. She smells like old people and feet. And grandpa thinks he's still in the war. The man is loco.
