Okay, all right, no problem.
Hey, listen, um I was giving you a call, you know, there's only uh uh a handful of uh black kids at the school, you know, being a private school and all.
And uh we the the uh the black parents, we all got together and had a meeting a couple nights ago.
Okay, you say all the black parents okay, I wasn't there.
Why wasn't I called?
Uh well, we actually had a meeting about your daughter, Kaylin.
Oh well, what about Caitlyn?
Is she is there a problem at school that she's crazy or something I don't even know about?
What's what's going on with?
Well, actually what w we're you know, we feel privileged to be, you know, you know, like I said, there's only a handful of blacks and we try to carry ourselves in a dignified way.
Uh our presence, our attitude, the way we handle ourselves.
And uh, you know, Kayla's doing very good in school from what I understand, and very nice with all the rest of the kids.
She's getting along.
That's not the problem.
What we're what we're trying to get is um the grooming of Kalen.
You know, Caelin's has these braids, and what we were trying to do is is give you know, we had a meeting about it.
Well, it's not necessarily her clothing.
Of course, you know, the kids wear the uniforms, but the the braids, you know, we we want to represent ourselves with a lot of dignity, the way we carry ourselves.
We want to be um, you know, pretty much nice and clean, spit and polished.
We would really prefer if her hair was straight and opposed to being braided up.
You know?
I mean that kind of gives off a a a ghetto type of look to it.
And that's what we're trying to to avoid.
Are are you crazy?
Is something wrong with you?
You don't have first of all, how the hell you get my dump.
If you couldn't call me for the meeting, why are you calling me now?
Well like I said, ma'am, the meeting was to get the general consensus on where all the parents feel in the same way about your daughter and her braids.
You know, we're just trying to keep everything classy at when it comes to the blacks that attend the school.
There's only ten of us, you know, ten children attending I tell you what you can attend.
You could what you can attend to is this phone hanging up in your d face.
You tell the parents all of them for me.
Y'all can go straight and hit rock bottom out of hell talking about my child and her braids.
Her braids are ethnic, they are nice, she is well groomed and I don't know how in the hell you got my d telephone number, but tell all the parents for me, the kids to crack a mouth you know what?
Listen, first of all I don't like the way that you're talking to me.
Okay I carry myself with class with dignity.
I'm spit and polished ma'am.
