HOWDY YA'LL,
Well last weekend, as you may have known, I went to Eleuthera for a funeral (R.I.P. Aunt Ruth). Like most, if not everybody's, family, death seems to bring everyone together. I saw people I haven't seen in YEARS and met some new people. But we'll save the sappy revelations for later.
Lets take a trip back...back....way back in time....
To Thursday (lol)... So I'm shopping for something to wear to the funeral on Saturday and I'm trying on loads of clothes in the dressing room...and there's this lady in the next dressing room with her young child (around 3 0r 4) ... I'm not really paying attention until she says "Miss you ain gat dis jeans in a 13/ 14 eh?" Silence persists for a few minutes until I hear nails dragging on denim along with a few grunts and puffs of air. Silence. The next I heard was kid chatter and then the lady said "Well gee these ain gat no pull eh? I ain gun get these...Move *child's name* cuz you ain help me fit in dese pants" This brings me to the age old question WHY DON'T YOU GUYS JUST BUY YOUR SIZE??? I mean for real though if you're a size Extra large you can't be expecting to fit in no Smedium clothes...Yes yes we know you USE to fit into that yesterday but apparently that is not the case TODAY!
But anyway small tings...lol or big tings whatever you wanna call it.
So the next day I went to the airport around 2:00 for my flight at 3:45 checked in and stuff...settled and ready to go. I happened to venture into the bathroom and had to take a step back to make sure I was still in the Bahamas...EVERYTHING WAS AUTOMATIC....I mean toilets, faucet, hand wash dispensers and yes my friend, even automatic tissue dispensers. There was more than one tiny mirror that only shows you from bust to waist. Anyhoo I was truly impressed. But like Nelly Furtado sung (8) Why do all good things come to an end? (8) Remember that 3:45 flight I was gonna catch........D-E-L-A-Y-E-D until 4:30.
After hearing about 50 flights called that was not MINE, I decided to take a nap... and as soon as my lashes touched my cheek they called my flight... -_-' Uncool. So we get up to go to our gate and when we get there...no plane...there's a man that said go to the plane straight to the far end....so as I'm approaching, I see one big Bahamas Air plane at the next gate.... so I figured that this man, like most Bahamians don't even know what he talking. I eventually notice that the plane's stairs aren't down so you can board the plane....BUT THEN I notice the other people on my fight are walking past the Bahamas Air plane so I continued on and what came into view was a 16 seat PINEAPPLE AIR plane. o_o
(above is inside the plane...Yes ahead is the pilots cabin and there was one row behind me and that was the plane.) My younger sister and I were the ONLY black people on this tiny flight there was with grown hip man behind me who's claustrophobic and ranting about how he feels like he's gonna have a panic attack yet he's talking throughout the whole flight...I'm like NIGGKA U SUCKIN UP ALL THE AIR IN THE TINY SPACE TALKIN SO MUCH...thats probably why you can't breathe. I survived though so....YAY!!
Well anyway we drove to Gregory town where we were staying and I got to meet up with my cousins who I have not seen in like forever... *CUE NOSTALGIA AND EPIPHANIES* It was a pleasant weekend that wouldn't have happened without the passing of Ruth Mackey...God Bless her soul... The family's back together again.
Long story short, the weekend was filled with death, family love, food and MEMORIES....
