Re: Jamaican Parents
sending dis on to mi two pickney
OK. So here's what happened when Peas1 was seven and Peas2 was four years old:
<span style="font-weight: bold">Me</span> (yelling at Peas2 about something)
<span style="font-weight: bold">Peas1</span>: Mommy, are you going to call him a "Nah Boy"?
<span style="font-weight: bold">
Me</span>: Is what yuh a seh?
And then it dawned on me. I would yell at Peas1, "Lissen to mi <span style="font-weight: bold">nah bway</span>
yuh bettah tek awf yuh boot before yuh walk pan mi floor dem." Etc. Etc.
All dis time Peas1 was thinking "Nah Bway" was a term I would use when he was being bad.

Re: Jamaican Parents
"If your parents are not Jamaican look for Jamaican parents near you"
A few years ago, I used to have the neighborhood boys over to teach them table manners
If you don't fight for what you deserve, you deserve what you get.

"Mommy, what does <span style="font-style: italic">Jeezam peez</span> means?"
I bought a book called "Mek Mi tell Yuh" an wan day mi ketch har a read it an her pronunciation of the patwa words had me cracking up. But it was pretty decent.
I have got to get her on tape reading patwa
