The Potty Mouth Granny

  • Scrambled Eggs, Lightly Dusted

    I’ve been watching MeTv Toons for over a year and whenever I hear the familiar voices of Magilla Gorilla, Woody Woodpecker, and so many others, I’m taken aback to living at 7246 South University back in the seventies. I am a little girl again. It’s Saturday morning and I’m nagging my mother to make me…

  • A Message for My People

    Most Black folks are regular people. We go to work and take care of our families. We have regular friends and family members. We live in regular neighborhoods. We lead regular lives. I know that the social media has destroyed the brain cells of so many people and got them thinking stupid shit but damn.…

  • Don’t Let Hate Win

    We are living in times where hate rules. Hate is the reason why the current president is in office. Hate of anyone other than themselves but now we all have to suffer. I’m beyond pissed but I can’t afford to have a seizure due to stress. I’m doing my best to not let hate overwhelm…

  • Eat Them All

    I’m going to be frank. I’m a part of the soon to be working class in this country and I don’t give a rat’s ass about rich people. I don’t expect anything from them. Why? Because historically, they have shown that they don’t care about people like me, a disabled, overweight black woman. Last month,…

  • The Main Reason Why America Ain’t Shit

    So today, I was denied once again by disability who determined that I can work. Despite losing some cognitive function due to the medication I take for epilepsy, despite being diagnosed with anxiety, and osteoarthritis, despite being diagnosed with cataracts, and despite being 54 years old and living in a society that has contempt for…

  • The Case of the Talking Turtle – A Possible Short Story

    As a reporter, I receive a lot of weird messages from people but this shit here is the craziest. One morning I was minding my business, having coffee in my office when I heard a ping from my phone. I had received an email alert from a gentleman named Simon Tutweiler who claimed to be…

  • Trying to Have Positive Thoughts Even When You’re Feeling Overwhelmed

    Last week in my Facebook memories from three years ago, I had posted about resigning from a job because of my medical condition. If you follow my blog then you know I have epilepsy and I take anti seizure medication to control the seizures. When I read that old post, I realized that I have…

  • The Day Before the Holiday

    Tomorrow is the 4th of July and as a child, it would mean good times. My multigenerational family would gather together to celebrate and I would play with my cousins and friends until everyone went home. I can still remember the smell of the barbecue grill my Aunt Maggie would set up at 6am. I…

  • The Promise

    As previously mentioned, I had an epiphany that I would be 55 years old next year, and just a few minutes ago, I had another one. Neither one of my brothers made it to old age. They were ages 34 and 63 years old when they died, and that’s so sad. If I was to…

  • The Big 55

    Earlier this morning, I was in the bathroom doing what humans do, and it occurred to me that I will be 55 years old next year. When I say it felt like I was slapped in the face with a sock full of bricks with that knowledge, it surely did. 55 years on this planet…
