&quot;baby-love&quot; brings back memories.
Cause mi guilty of using that term, especially as a youngster while hanging out on the corner..
Sometime doe, depending on the response, “baby-love” preceeds other names..
For example:
xKs and bredrens hanging out at the regular spot in a walkway.. We sitting on a low fence that is shaded by a almond tree..
Nice looking sexy new girl in the scheme walking by…
xKs: “nice girl!”
She doesn’t seem to hear
xKs: “sweetness!”
She is walking pass
xKs: “Babylove!”
She keeps walking by.. ignoring.. nose up in the air.. stepping like she stepping in snow..

xKs: “ hey jry foot gal!!” yeah man..gwwan walk before di Zoo come catch yuh. face fava mi pet Alligator..! **kissteeth**
