tuesday, july 4th, 2023 - block party - atlanta, georgia

arriving outside of my daddy's trap for the 4th of july block party

i got out my car and went to the back seat to let my sons out the car

"mama i still don't get why you put that small shirt on" my son 6 year old jamere said for the 100th time as he got out my 2023 cadillac ct4
"jamere i'm grown" i said
"mmtch wait until i tell papa" my other 6 year old son jakari said as he got out behind mere

i closed the door and they grabbed my hands

a.n: her outfit

we began our walk to the backyard

let me introduce myself real quick i'm khaleesi areli coleman but everyone calls me lessi, reli, or brat, i'm 21, i was born on january 23rd, 2002 so i'm a aquarius, i was born and raised here in atlanta, georgia and live in buckhead now, i have twin boys, i have a big brother his name is domali we call him mali or bobo he's 26, and i have a little sister her name is jayonna we call her onna or diva she's 14

now me and mali have the same mom, our dad and mom broke up when i was 4 then 2 years later my dad met onna's mom and after onna was born they got married

mine and mali's mom (zoelle) and dad (romello) had the perfect coparenting relationship, making our mom becoming besties with onna's mom (key'ori)

my twin sons are 6 years old their names are jakari amir coleman i call him jellybean and jamere akai coleman i call him puddin

their nicknames came from my cravings during pregnancy
