Happy Ma's Day!

20 things you probably didn't know about my momma:

1. was a Gymnast in Thomas Jefferson High School and got mad recognition still in the school from all the stuff she did.


2. works for NYCTA as a Zone Superintendent and has been doin a helluva job at it.

3. Volunteered and danced at Leaps N Bounds School of Dance.

4. Was born a twin but sister died at birth. (my unborn aunty)

5. Lived in Germany at one point in her life.

6. Had Robert Clayton Chappelle born by Ceazarian section just so he could be born on his "godsister's" birthday and to avoid him (me) to be born on his due date of April 1st.

7. Petrified of getting her license because of the car accident she was in during the late 90's

8. Writes poetry

9. Blames her loud and assertive tone on NYCT (well at least that wat she tells me lol)

10. Real Gov't name is "Saint Faith"

11. Daughter of 7 (... from Grandma at least... shoutouts to Ruth and Cora [aunty from grandpa side]... definitely my aunties for lifeys)

12. Stands tall at 4 feet 11 inches

13. Uses terms such as "Sheezy Coony", "Oooo lord help me!", and "ROBERT!!!!"

14. Born in Barbados

15. Got married in Jamaica to a bajan... and the only people that attended the wedding were her eldest daughter and granddaughter (nice!)

16. Threw her son's Playstation out the door during their Summer 2000 trip to Barbados

17. Has a hole in her leg from when a Rooster pecked the hell out of it when she was younger.

18. Allegedly put clothespins on her nose in order to get a "white nose" (the irony is i was born with the nose she always wanted)

19. One of the innovators of the idea of marking your juice so that you can tell if someone drank it.

20. One of the greatest moms ever!


Flaws in all iLOVE my Ma' cuz no one is perfect and took Bobby C. to realize that all the crap me and siblings done went through only helped shape and mold the way we are today... i feel we are all good in today's present. Yea my mother may yell alot, or push you to do alot of shit you dont want to do, or try to live a life for you... BUT! in the end all she tryna do is look out for the best interest in her children to not let them be a bunch of bums... She will eventually learn that everyone must find out for themselves how they want to live their lives, but she only tryna help. My mother is not an EVIL person.... far from it if you ask me... She attends chuch every Sunday which i try my best to attend when i can and look decent to go.... She prays every morning in her alter room.... and most importantly she lives her life.... Work for her is overwhelming sometimes but she manages to still find time to attend church, dance as apart of the ministry and travel back to her country once in a while. COOL POINTS GOES OUT TO F.E.W... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MA'
