Re: As Deep as the Ocean...
In front of Alfreds there are more people. Food smoking, sound system going. Jagypsy and her friends are there, and Swedish is talking to them. Imanni and I stand there and wait. I see 2 ladies across the street set up with a cooler and a table of snacks...
One lady looks like she is the mother of the other... Beautiful graying locs, and kind eyes. I see the two of them looking at Imanni and smiling...
I decide "Momma" needs some business, and we bolt across the street to see what they have.
They open the cooler and Imanni see's a Pepsi [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70456-eyebrows.gif[/img] Baby how about the ting, or some juice?? No he wants the pepsi [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif[/img] I ask Momma how much and she tells me. I fish the money from my purse and hand it to her.
The younger one is smitten [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/inlove1.gif[/img] she is looking at Imanni and she tells me to hold on to him. She says she would steal him in a heart beat, and tells me to hold his wrist, not his hand...
The traffic still speeds by regardless of the people standing along the narrow road. I feel a pang of fear, what am I doing with my baby out here [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img] I can't hold the coconut, my purse, the pepsi and Imanni. They take the coconut from me, and again the younger one says hold on to that baby.
I grab Imanni by the wrist and we run back across the road.
Imanni will not go in without Auntie Swedish, and we wait for her to finish her conversation....
Finally she comes, and we head down the driveway to Alfreds....
$200J for me, Imanni is free [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bannana_purple.gif[/img]
He loves music so much, I am excited for him to see...
We walk through the entrance, and the music hits us like a bomb [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scareyuh.gif[/img]
Imanni covers his ears, and starts backing out [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]
I take him back into the driveway, and see if he's ok...?
He says he is ok, but it's loud... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]
Ok, I pick him up one more time and try to get through the crowd farther from the amplified music.
Imanni is not having it, and starts to get upset... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]
Ok baby, lets go home... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]
I find Swedish and tell her it is too loud for Imanni and we are going home [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]
We get a cab, and head back to the hotel....
I just paid 200J for a stamp on my hand..... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]
