What you read don't make you no smarter, just act more like whatever fool you are. Momma used to say that to Uncle Tiger who wouldn't read nothing but the funny papers. She tell me all the time how people think what they read agree with what they already know, like how they think teenagers got to act.
Folks sure can be stupid.
Me and mom's like two cubes sometimes, just too, too cool. She a singer, do all kinda old-timey singers in her act. She can be ice cube about everything, except she always tellin' me act like this act like that. I try not to worry about why sometime she seem mixed up as me. I wasn't trying to put nothing over on her when the thing happened that got me in big trouble.
