Travel Info Let's revisit one of our Trini rites of passage shall we? What yuh get yuh sweetest cut tail ever for?? Travel Tips Oh gosh..where do I start.. Leh we see. I went to an all girls catholic school in Sando (St. Gabriels ) so after dey I went Pvill junior sec.. well yuh dunn kno arready.. I was a bit boy crazy..but I knew I couldn't even kiss nobody cuz if anybody ketch meh is cut @$$ fuh dayzz.. so one time we went down by meh Aunty Kamla house fuh holidays and she livin near d beach, so me and my cousins walkin back home, I see dis realll sweeetttt fella limin out d street, so I stop off tuh talk tuh he and dem keep on walkin..so dey reach home & meh mom ask dem where I was..and dem modda @$$ gone and tell she how I out d street limin wit a fella...So check me reall holdin up d fella hand & ting, and I juss see he expression change, and he run..I turn around tuh see dis skinny Indian oman walkin up d hill (talkin 2 she self & sayin if yuh feel u goin & shame me here 2day yuh lie) and wit a pot spoon in she hand..like she juss finish cookin & eh even put dong d spoon..needless to say I run..neva knew I coulda run so fast..I outrun she & I reach by d gate & figure good I reach home I o lock she out..meh nexx aunt was on d odda side waitin fuh meh.. I get licks 2wice dat day outside dey eh even wait till I get inside..steups and dem blasted kissmeh@$$ neighbors and dem so fass dem juss sittin dong in dey gallery watchin & laughin..steups.. Others Too many to choose a favourite! I ran around the corrider to try and get away. I dare not run outside, I was never that brave. My brother, my cousin and I raided our grandfather's governor plum tree, picking all the GREEN fruit to throw in the river for fun. When we were found out, we hid because we knew what was coming. My aunt found out and said, "Papa say come and see him in the kitchen". I was the oldest so I get it first...Papa had big belt used for holding up his pants. It was kinda comical to see his pants drooping because of the lack of belt. Any laughter I was thinking quickly turned to tears, because he got 2 or 3 slaps across my legs before I managed to escape. When I think back now, I really deserve that one. A governor plum tree is a rare sight...that very one has succumbed to "pines" and doesn't bear anymore (guilt, shame), So much cut tail ( not dat ah was harden eh). One time, was when ah fight in school. As soon as ah reach home, mother done know what happen. Is licks outside, no question ask. Children passing , I crying not so much getting licks eh, but because ah shame. Another time, my bredder write this cuss word on the board wall, he blame me. look at trouble. Cut tail again. This time from meh fadder .De man send meh too tuh carry the belt for him and dotish me carry it too.Because if yuh run is double yuh getting So many to choose from.....sigh Well, my curfew was 2am when I was living at home. Yuh gyul bounce een de house one morning at 4am, after a sweet lime, thinking de parents MUST be sleeping by now!....ahmmm. ...wrong! I was carefully sneaking by dey room when de door crack, meh father watch me and then close back de door. I say "Cool! Dey know ah reach een, but they too tired to boof meh tail. Good." Hear nuh, when de first lash hit meh, I thought "Wait, wait, wait. Somebody getting a cut tail!" When de next lash buss meh tail I bawl," Buh wait....is me!" After that cut tail yuh gyul was punctual THREE BAD! Well, I get licks from mummy and she ain't hit me yet. Here it is: The lady have she plants in the yard. So yuh 'no we playing football and bam hit one ah she plants. We everybody scatter. "WHO HIT MEH PLANTS?!" Well I denying it and ah sure I could ah pass a lie detector test. Then she say "Alright nobody ain't confessing. Well who ever do it something bad go happen to them today." "That was it no licks." I say to myself. Well that was easy. I wish she do that all the time. So we gone summer camp and playing football again. Everything going go until I hit a man a bad tackle. He get vex, we start fighting, and he beat the hell out of me. When I went home I black and blue and not a word was said after that about she plants. Goat mouth is a hell of a t'ing. I went down the islands for the weekend without permission...mih mudda say no but ah was goin' eh....so after school when she was at work ah pack a bag, leave a note on de fridge an walk out, yes. well man when ah reach back inside de house on sunday night is cutass like DAT! an' ah ban for awhile but ah went up to genesis the following weekend, ah was from south nah....after dat nobody bothered to discipline me again! |
