the whole thing is funny as hell” she said.
“Yah, me too but to be honest, it’s none of my business what’s going on with them”, I said.
“Then why are you listening in on it like everyone else”, she asked?
“You can’t help not to; I mean they are loud as hell”, I said with a small chuckle.
“Well I agree on that part, I will talk to you later Jonathan.”
Thirty minutes into the entertainment, a red pickup truck pulls into the lot. A lady in what looked like her late forties or early fifties gets out and runs up to Anthony’s apartment.
“Who the hell do you think you are yelling at my daughter”? It was Krystal’s mother.
Apparently she had been on the phone when the entire fight started. “You have no right to be raising your voice to her, she said. You don’t even belong here in this apartment in the first place.”
“Mom, please stop”! “This has nothing to do with you. I did not call you to come over here first of all, screams Krystal. I called you to tell you that I had your keys and that I would bring them to you. So why are you here”, she asked?
“I have every right to be here her mother replied. You are my child and nobody is going to yell at you except me”...
“Look bitch”, Anthony replied with a very aggressive tone.” I will do whatever I want. As long as I don’t put my hands on her you don’t have anything to say. This is between me and Krystal, so you need to get to stepping.”
At this point Krystal is sitting in the doorway of her apartment crying.
“I can’t take this, this is too much, she said in a whimpering tone.”
Anthony realized that she was really upset and began to change his tone.
“Look, can’t you see that you being here is making things worse he stated to Krystal’s mom. Just leave and let us work out our problems alone.”
Krystal’s mother began to get really assertive once she saw that Anthony was backing off.
“I’m not going anywhere and there is nothing you can do about it” she said.
Krystal jumps up and bolts into the house. “Look mom, why are you doing this? We can handle our own problems without you getting in the middle. I don’t need you here to fight my battles and to tell you the truth I don’t want you here.”
Her mother just looked at her and said “Well I am going to call CPS, so that I can get my grand kids. I will teach you and that dumbass white boy of yours that wants to be black a thing or too.”
Suddenly the woman takes a swing at Anthony and misses. Then she pushes him as hard as she can, trying to provoke him into hitting her.
“So I guess you’re just going to stand there like the punk you are and do nothing” she says to him.
“Anthony replies, “No I am not.” ” You are trying to get me to hit you so you can put me in jail but I have a better idea.” He then called the police and makes a report of assault.
Five minutes later, a police car arrives and Anthony begins to tell the officer what has taken place. The officer talks to Krystal and her mother after he finishes.
Krystal begins to tell the officer, “yes my mother assaulted him and he did nothing to provoke her.”
The officer turns and walks away to his car. After a few moments, the officer returns and tells the lady to leave. Both Anthony and Krystal say that they want to press charges but the officer just shrugged his shoulders and says “there is nothing I can do.”
Now even I know that the officer was wrong. There had to be some sort of person involvement of some level. She assaulted him and nothing was done about that…
Anthony asked the officer “why is nothing being done”? At that point the officer began to get really rude with Anthony.
“Don’t tell me how to do my job”. “You already have a record, so do not make me add to it.” He replies with an attitude.
“Krystal steps in and says, “Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that you are not going to do anything because he has a record? Come on that is a load of bullshit and you know it.”
The officer just laughed and said, “Have a nice night” as he walked back to his patrol car.
As the officer drove away, I turned to Denise and said “if this is any indication about how the police handle things in this area, we are in a lot of trouble if there is an emergency situation.”
She just smiled and said “I guess I will be cutting a lot of people then.”


Family Day

Thunder and rain is not a way to wake up after having a dream about drowning. I laid in my bed listening to the rain storm that was taking place outside this morning. Lora walks into the room and flops down on the bed.
“Jonathan, are you getting out of bed today”?
I just laid there pretending like I was still asleep.
“Jonathan” she said with a stern tone, I know you are not asleep and you heard me.
I sat up and replied, “WHAAAAT” leave me alone. I tried to roll back over but before I could my little four year old daughter came running in the room and jumped on me.
“Get up daddy, she said. I need you to beat up your son.”
I turned to her and said, “which one and why”?
She replied “Tiny, because he won’t stop trying to stuff me in the freezer.”
I sat up in bed and began to laugh; “why is he trying to put you in the freezer Pooter” I asked?
“Because he is a big dummy head and a punk”, she replied.
I turned to Lora and said “ok, these are your children today”! Next, junior walks into my room and lays’ on my bed.
“Dad, can you please talk to you wife”?
I just sighed and said, “Ok why”?
He sat up and said (while laughing) “because she was chasing me around the house with Ann and she had no diaper on”.
I looked over at Lora and said “why in the world are you tortuering my son”?
She just gave me a big innocent smile and said, “Because it was fun”!
I finally realized that my family is very special on my levels. Furthermore they were not going to let me go back to bed. I finally pulled myself out of my bed and made it about five feet from the bedroom door before I heard;
“Now that you are up can you make breakfast” from about three different voices.
All I could do was drop my head and walk towards the kitchen. After breakfast, I decided to sit back and relax or so I thought. Ring Ring Ring!
“Hello this is Jonathan”!
“Hello, my name is Mr. Wong and I am the owner of Terrace Apartment. I am calling you in regards to the letter and petition I received a few days ago about my complex manager. Please tell me what the entire situation is.”
I sat straight up in my seat and said “well sir, she is a slum lord. The information you received was a full report of how your property needs some major repairs and your property manager refused to correct them.”
“I have never received any information from her on this”, he said.
“I know and that’s why both I and twenty-five others decided to send the information to you directly. She has been taking people’s money for rent and then stating that no one paid. For example, in August of last year my neighbor paid five hundred dollars for rent in cash and received a receipt. Four days later, he was given an eviction notice by her stating that rent was fifteen days late. All this information was forwarded to you. We also sent over information to the housing authority as a result of this.”
Mr. Wong replied, “Yes I know. I was contacted yesterday by them. I must say that I am truly shocked of such poor management that has taken place. I will personally be in town tomorrow to resolve this matter. I will also have the local police at hand if you would like to make a report to them of theft. Thank you for your time and the information you sent me he said. Have a great day”!
As soon as we hung up, I called up to Eric and Denise.
“Hey guys, you are not going to believe who just called me. “
“Who”, Denise replied?
“The owner of Terrace apartments”!
“Are you serious”, she stated while laughing hysterically?
“Yep and he is pissed; He is taking the police tomorrow over to the office and the property manager is in for it.”
Eric yells from the background, “That is what she gets; I hope she goes to jail and gets fired.”
I began to laugh under my breath. “Well I told you I had something else in mind for her.”
Tiny comes up to me and says “dad, why are people so selfish.”
I turned to him and said “I have no idea but selfish people always
