This past holiday & weekend was so refreshing…and interesting. On Thanksgiving my mom, sister, brother, and I went over to my aunt’s for dinner. My family isn’t particularly close so it was great seeing those who that I hadn’t seen in a while. I love my coo coo family LOL.
I was talking with my aunt and she mentioned that my uncle just had his 8th child, this time with "Gina." Gina…Gina…hmmm. All night long, my aunt kept talking about karma in a way that I knew she had some juicy gossip, but wasn’t telling. And my mom kept saying that my uncle needs Jesus. I HATE when people have that knowing tone yet keep me out of the loop! I said, "Gina sounds VERY familiar." Both my mom and aunt then look at me like I’m an idiot and said "You KNOW who Gina is." That’s when it clicked. Gina is my uncle’s best friend Tony’s baby’s mom. She’s been close to our family for years (Tony has 3 kids with her). I was hoping that it was another Gina…that’s a common name, sheesh. Tony and my uncle were so close. When I was a kid, I thought that Tony was my mom’s brother too!
I remember saying that their 20+ year friendship must be over and my aunt replying that you can’t help who you fall in love with. Yes you can (but that’s another blog entry)! I’m not so sure that love had anything to do with it. Apparently Tony slept with one of my uncle’s baby’s mamas (the same chick who shot my uncle in the foot a while ago) back in the day so this is just karma according to my aunt. If karma is that strong then my uncle has it coming to him something SERIOUS. He has a total of 6 kids from three women who were best friends before he came into the picture. His 7th child was born to some random side chick immediately after his wife (at the time) had a miscarriage (side chick made it her BUSINESS to make sure his wife found out)…behold baby #8. My aunt tells me that this is just how people behave but I refuse to believe that normal people get down this way. They are all a bunch of shady mofos…women sleeping with & getting knocked up by the same man, best friends sleeping with each other’s baby mamas. I know my uncle’s game ain’t THAT tight to the point that he can convince "sweet & innocent" women to sleep with the other’s man (or ex man). They are a wild bunch and they deserve one another.
This all has me thinking carefully about who I associate with & consider friends.
You got that right! ( re: sweet and innnocent women are not sleeping with each others boyfriends and having babies)
Sweet and innocent people don’t turn ho-ish all of sudden; I also say that in order to bring something out of a person it had to be on the inside of them already to begin with.
It’s always really funny when crazy people run into each other in life and mayhem ensues.

This is sad. I’m sure your Uncle is not a young man and cannot comfortably provide for all 8 kids. And I don’t like this switching partners, especially unprotected. Oh well, if they like it, who are we to judge.

“This all has me thinking carefully about who I associate with & consider friends.”
That’s me ’til the end…but let other folks tell it, i’m ’sneaky’ and ‘anti-social’ . Part of that may be true (lol), however, there’s a reason for it. And this post is one of the reasons why.
