Michael's Point of View

I would finally be able to retire. Mikey was finally done with school. I could finally relax. It was fun while it lasted but I wanted to finally do what I wanted. He would be here soon. So I got up to take a shower. Before I knew it I was pushed out of the way and fell back onto the bed.

"To slow old man." I rolled my eyes and made my way to the guest bathroom. I finished up and made my way to our room.

"I'm so excited to see Mikey! My little boy is coming back home."

"I don't think Little Man will be so Little anymore." We walked hand in hand down the stairs so see our son. Jenny ran and hugged the life out of him.

"Mom I can't breathe."

"I'm sorry Mikey. I missed my little valedictorian. You're so skinny!"

"I've been eating Mother, and I go by Michael now. Mikey seems a bit Juvenile don't you think?" Jenny was about to straighten him out when we heard a cough.

"Michael, I can't believe that you are so friendly with the help." A girl emerged from behind Mikey. Jenny was steaming.

"No Emily darling, this is my mother." She whispered in his ear. "You didn't tell me you were half black." Jenny walked into the kitchen and I heard mumbling and pots and pans crashing together.

"Why don't you get settled down, and Mikey meet me in my office."  I don't know why Mikey is acting this way, but if he continues there is no way I'm handing over my company.

"Father, what do you want to talk about."

"Father? You sound crazy as hell. Mikey what kind of shit are you smoking? You bring that disrespectful girl into the house, you're acting like you have no sense, and what's with this 'I go by Michael' shit now? What you're gonna do is apologize to your mother and tell that girl to get her shit together because when your mother is mad she takes it out on me. Got it?"

"Yes, sir."

"Great! Now go." I walked into the kitchen to see Jenny talking to herself and flinging a knife around.

"Jenny?"

"Yes Michael?" She was so calm it scared me.

"I talked to Mikey. So everything is good now."

"It better be or no cookie for a week. Come on y'all it's time to eat." She said while brushing past me. Mikey and Emily walked downstairs. "Where is that girl's meat." Jenny whispered to me. We ate in an awkward silence.

"Look Mama, I'm sorry for earlier."

"It's ok. Mikey" Thank you lord, I'm getting laid tonight. We caught up on old times and had a great dinner.

"So Michael, if you're half Black why is your hair so nice?"

"That's it! Get your little racist ass out of my house." Jenny ran upstairs and threw her suitcases out the window. She dragged Emily out the door and locked it.

"Michael what about us?"

"Ummmm it was nice knowing you?" Mikey said laughing.

"Haha my ass. Y'all all getting on my nerves." I slapped Mikey on the head.

"All you had to do was keep her ass quiet." Me and my right hand again.
