I laughed at Saheera's stupid ass text message while I was getting my hair shaped up and a trim at my uncle's barber on this boring ass Monday. She has school today and she was irritated which was funny as hell to me.

" Who's got you laughing, young man?" One of the other customers names Urkel asked me, removing the newspaper from his face.

I sucked my teeth making my uncle laugh as he cut my hair. Every nigga in here was nosy as hell and I knew better then you say shit cause by the end of the day, half of Detroit would know it.

"Leave my neph alone, Urkel. Don't you have a two baby mamas and four kids to worry about?" My uncle asked, causing the entire barbershop to ooooo.

" Damn, Pops got you played." Kaivon chuckled while he swept the hair from the ground.

" Fuck all y'all," Urkel snapped. " Both them bitches get on my everlasting nerves, I swear"

"You laid up with them bitches, so I guess annoying bitches is yo thang," Another barber by the name of Fernandez asked, focusing on trimming this dude's Afro.

" Look at you interfering with adult business," One of the elder barbers grumbled, waddling to his assigned chair. " Before I call immigration to deport your ass, my boy ."

The customers booed him, making the old man flip them off. Fernandez went back to cutting hair, keeping his mouth shut.

" Low move, Mr.Tyrell" I shook my head at his prejudice. This barbershop was the place where I hung out when I was younger before I moved to NY with my mom after she decided she was tired of Detroit and wanted a fresh start.

"Black people can't be racist, young nigga. Plus I'm a old man so I can do whatever I want," Mr.Tyrell placed the toothpick between his teeth and picked his salt n' pepper Afro.

" Black people can be racist what the hell. I swear you blacks always coming up with bullshit ass excuse." Another customer who was white, waiting for his hair to be cut.

" Mayonaise, I suggest you be quiet because you in a black owned barbershop first off and we got the clippers & razors, not you." My uncle stopped cutting my hair and looked at the customer who gulped and zipped his lips.

" What the hell is white man doing in a barbershop anyway? This the wrong side of the hood young man, you got lost or something?" Urkel asked causing the white man to roll his eyes and go back to his phone.

" Damn shut that shit down," Mr. Tyrell laughed. " He don't know that I could fuck his white wife if I really wanted to. There's two things white woman love - black men and the elderly."

" Mr.Tyrell you just lying now," Kaivon came from the back room with a apron on. " White woman can't do nothing for you. Not even cook. "

" White people's biggest fear- Seasonings," Urkel piped up causing the whole shop to laugh, except the Caucasian customer.
