U Buggin'
It is Tuesday, T-shirt time like I like to say. The -shirt of the week is the shirt called Belkis. It is name after my "cousin" who is an interesting character to say the least. Unfortunately, we do not speak now, but I can still tell you the story of how this shirt came about. By, the way she has other classic lines that are on gold mine tee.
Belkis is a grown woman, who thinks she is 18. She has been 18 for the past 20 years. I really never knew her real age. She lived with her mom all her life. Her mom is hard of hearing and does not speak English. She yells everything, like Arthur from King of Queens, because she feels that no one can hear her. No exaggeration, you can stand on one end of the street and walk down a couple blocks and still hear her clearly. Often, when she calls my mom I can hear their conversation clearly because I can hear what my mom is saying and then I hear Christina clearly on though the phone-so funny.
So back the story, Belkis never had a back bone with her mom. She was in her thirties (I'm sure) and she would hide boyfriends from her mom and sneak guys in when she was away. When they would argue, Belkis never defended herself in Spanish. She would say the classic yet over used line, "You Buggin (extending the word like you BuGGGGGGin', in a song like way)." Like I said her mom does not speak English and she is Dominican, so her response would always be "Que jew (meaning you)buggin' ni jew buggin." Hilarious. This was was many years ago. Belkis finally moved and lives with her baby daddy. I am certain that every now again a You Buggin' slips out of her mouth!
