Ummm, yall ready for this?
Younger Brother Fox
He is my next in line sibling. Baby Bro is 25 years. He has a little girl. She just turned 4, I think. I have never had the pleasure of meeting her. As much as I hate to say it, Baby Bro is shaping up to be a dead beat dad. He's unemployed, living with his dad, and trying to avoid the child support folks. It hurts my heart, but it's true. It didn't have to be this way. It really didn't. So, what happened?
Well, growing up Baby Bro was smart. His grades mirrored mine, all A's, all the time. He liked to read, but he liked what we now call graphic novels (whatever, it's just comics). He was a typical boy and that's why we got along. He didn't follow behind me and my friends. He had his own and I was cool with that.
However, we did spend alot of time together. We played tea party and we played with tonka trunks. We played with dolls and we played with remote controlled cars. We balanced each other out. We were close all through school, til high school. That's when he started smoking weed.
He got mixed up with the wrong crowd. He wanted to go into the Navy and be a chef. He ended up running the streets. I came home from college and didn't recognize the negro looking at me. I asked what was happening and he started that 'you set the bar too high' bullshit. I told him that sounded like something his ain't doing shit friends came up with. Le Sigh, through it all, he is my favorite sibling.
Younger Sister Fox
OMG! I don't even know where to begin on this chick. She has always been a know it all, know nothing loud mouth. She spent most of her childhood fighting and getting suspended. She was a C student and resented the fact that Baby Bro and I were A students. I offered help and she never took it.
But, something happened when I went to college. She turned her grades around. She started getting A's and B's. I was impressed and proud. She was determined to go to college. I was really impressed. Oh but then, she discovered dudes. And then, she discovered sex. The rest, as they say, is history.
She graduated high school with an offer to go to college, but she was too busy sniffing behind some dude. She got knocked up by some unemployed dude with 2 other chicks pregnant and 5 baby mamas. He was stressing her out, well, actually she was stressing herself out behind this dude. She lost the baby. She saw it as a blessing. She didn't wanna be baby mama #6 of 8.
She got her life back on track, eventually. Then she met another dude. She thinks she is pregnant now. This dude is unemployed (actually, he a wanna be dopeboy. trust me, i dated a dopeboy and he don't qualify) and he got 2 kids. She flunked out of school. She's unemployed. She lives at home with Mama Fox.
These are my siblings. Where I come from? This
Makes. No. Sense.
The little Foxes don't have any excuse from what I can tell. Looks like they have the ability to be doing great - they just chose not to somewhere along the away. That really doesn't make any sense.
