"Nah Kaykay you can't tell ha bye. You have ta say you going ta be right back so she don't cry fa you and give ha mommy a hard time"

"Ok I'll be right back Marie ok?" Kaykay said huggin' Marie who just stopped cryin'

"Da da da de" Marie began chantin' as she hugged ma neck

I put ha down on the flo while she stood up holdin' onta ma legs

I took out one a ha cups out the cupboard and poured some juice in it

I picked ha back up givin' ha the bottle that had juice in it

"Uhhh" Marie said I looked down at ha in my arms as she continued ta wiggle
