Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em
Small child talking to me when they got stuck trying to communicate…
“My-my-my-my…”
Trying to be helpful I instantly finished their thought: “music makes me so hard makes me say oh my Lord thank you for blessing me with a mind to rhyme and 2 hype feet!”
Child stopped talking to me…with a frown slash glare expression.
“A super dope homeboy from the Oaktown. And I’m known as such. And this is a beat uh u can’t touch. I told you homeboy u can’t touch this.”
Another awkward pause.
“I’m done now.” “We can talk about Iron Man or Batman.”
