- "Excuse me, excuse me, from the bottom of my heart,
if it came out the other end, it would have been a fart."
- How would I describe my mom?
- The quiet storm.
- But she got a quick tongue, kinda feisty.
- And she's a very, very kind person
if you are doing what she told you to do.
- We used to call her the Warden.
- Sarcastic.
- Can be really serious.
- Her laugh is really, really intense.
- Really fiery.
- She's adorable and sweet, that's my mom's personality.
- "Kelsey Noelle!"
- "Come here. Come here."
- "I'ma count to three."
- "You better get your, you stop, you better..."
- "Don't make me embarrass you in front of your friends."
- "Who do you think you're talking to?"
- "Girl, I will knock you into next week."
- "Keep crying, I'm gonna give you something to cry about."
- My mother hated when we would leave the lights on
and we weren't in the room.
She always be like, "Cut them damn lights off!"
- Like we open up the fridge too long,
she's like, "You're letting all the penguins out."
- "You ain't gonna be running in and out
and in and out and in and out."
- "Either you in or you out,
don't be running in and out of my house,
you letting the cold air out."
- I couldn't have a boyfriend until I was married.
- "Why are you talking about boys?
Didn't nobody send you out there to be dating no boys."
- To this day my mom will say boys only want one thing. Sex.
- "Protection, protection, protection."
- "Don't bring home no babies."
- "Now when we get in the store don't touch nothing."
- "Mama, mama, I want the new truck."
And she be like, "Uh, you got some new truck money?"
- "Do you have Jordans money?"
- "Do you have McDonalds money?"
- "Money don't grow on trees."
- "Oh, looks like you need a job."
- "Procrastination is a sin."
- If ever I think I'm about to
get away with something or be real slick
she'll be like, "I know everything,
so I better hear it from you first."
- "Well, don't assume.
When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me.
A-S-S-U-M-E."
- "Be hard-headed if you want to,
a hard head make a soft ass."
- If I was ever having problems with somebody at school,
my mom would always say, "You better not start nothing,
but you better sho finish it."
- I been looking in the Bible,
I still ain't found that verse yet,
but to this day every time I want to put something off,
"Procrastination is a sin."
