Chapter 14

Yo Ho Don't Want You No Mo'

"Okay, Momma, you ready?"

"Yes, son. You starting to worry me. Go on, now. Say it."

"I GOT THE JOB!" I yelled into the phone at the top of my lungs.

I was standing on the balcony of my apartment in my boxers after waking up to an email from the recruiter I'd interviewed with a few weeks prior. I guess I did enough to impress him after all.

"Boy, stop yelling in my ear. I'm already old. You want this to be my last announcement I ever get, huh?" she said jokingly.

"Momma, you're not old. Fifty-something-year-olds run marathons and having babies these days."

"Well this fifty-something-year old ain't running and my baby days are over till you and that nice girl of yours give me some grandbabies. How is she doin' anyway?"

Momma met Danielle at a few of my football games. Just my luck, they hit it off well. Really well. And she hadn't let go of their connection any more than I had.

"Come on, Momma. Why you gotta bring her up right now? I just told you I got a job offer. They paying me 70k starting out, benefits, free company car and gas card, the whole nine. You talking about grandbabies?"

"Well, you're the one who brought it up, I'm just sayin'. But that's good, Bud. God is really smiling on you. Graduation coming up and you already got yaself a job. That's real good, I'm proud. Never doubted you for one second."

"Thank you. That's all I needed to hear."

"Now the real question is, did you thank God?"

I quickly said a quick thank you in my head to God.

"Yes, ma'am. I sure did."

"Good. It don't matter what happen. Don't you ever forget who it is that's really helping you through. You're not in control of all this."

"I got it, Momma, and I agree. So, how's things down there in good ole' Enterprise? I wanna come home to visit soon. Just gotta get through these finals."

"Yeah, you know, ain't a whole lot going on this way. Letting these collards soak in the sink right now. I suppose I can cook me some with a lil' tilapia later this evening."

I felt my stomach cry out for her cooking through rumbling and tears unseen. Ain't nothing like my momma's home cooking.

"That sounds too good right about now. I would be treating myself out but I'm still trying to budget so I'm stuck on this cafe food. Matter of fact, I'm about to head over there now. They stop serving breakfast at nine so I'mma have to call you back later on when--"

"Before you go," she interrupted, "promise me one thing."

"Yes, ma'am? What is it?"

"Promise me you gon' pray a real prayer and thank the Lord. I know you ain't think twice about thanking him before I said somethin' so you need to get to praying as soon as we get off this phone. You act ungrateful, and he can take them blessings as easy as he gave 'em to you.
