I went home for Carnival one year and I stayed with my parents. One night yuh gyul deh dressing to go fete, make up on and jeans tight!
Daddy pass and bawl" Miss, where you tink you going dis hour in de night?"
Fus ting cross meh mind " Like man gone mad! He eh realise is a big woman he talking to?"
Of course common sense prevailed and I told him in a calm voice that I was going UWI Splash in de Oval.
De man watch me and bawl. " Nah! I eh feel so yuh know.: And promptly proceeded to launch himself in a lengthy soliloquy bout how Trinidad change and is not the same place I grow up in and blah, blah, blah....
Did I mention that I was a GROWN TAIL WOMAN when this happened???
And what did Jouvert do? Take off meh tight jeans and cry mehself to sleep, vex like h**l.
Fadder is still fadder house allyuh.
