This your second baby? New White Lady say. She make a pursed-up face like she taste something bad. Pink lipstick lips all squished together like some worm. It say on your transcript that this your second baby.

Yeah white ho', what of it? Onlies I don't say that. Don't say nothin. They hates that, when you don't say nothin. It say fuck-all on my transcript. Ain't no transcript say I got no baby. First White Lady gone tell her. First White Lady even uglier than new White Lady: teeth all yellowish, dent down her forehead like she hit with a truck, big butt and no tits. Titless Wonder I called her....
