Another Perspective of Everyday Use by Cydney Cherese Haines

Dee: This visit was horrible!

Hakeem-A-Barber: I agree this was the first and last time I am going over to your mothers
house.

Dee:(with anger) You were one of the main reasons why the visit went like that!

Hakeem-A-Barber:(with confusion on his face) Wait, What did I do?

Dee:You know exactly what I am talking about! What was wrong with my mamas food?

Hakeem-A-Barber:You know I dont eat pork!

Dee: Well all of it wasn't pork you just wanted to make a big scene like always. You can never just be greatful.

Hakeem-A-Barber:So are you blaming it all on me?

Dee: No, no I am not its Maggies fault too. Why did she get to get the quilt? Why does mama treat her like that?

Hakeem-A-Barber:(calm but serious voice)Maybe your being a little extreme don't you think? How do you think Maggie feels? You are the one that got sent away to get a real education, you were the one who has the nice style and maybe she thinks you get whatever you want.

Dee: (speechless staring in space with her thinking face on) Well I never thought of it like that.
