    ... Elvis as we sang. We played together nearly every day, until Kindergarten started in the fall. I was sad my friends had to go to a different school, 'cause mine was "wides only". I didn't think I was that fat, but the grown-ups made the rules.

    The day after school ended in the spring, I got a terrible shock. Shawna sang "Hit the road Jack". Jamal and I had fun singing along with her. Jamal sang "Bad Leroy Brown". When it was my turn, I thought a little while and asked, “What’s that song that goes ba ba ba dun dah… you know, by Barry Wide.”
    
    Shawna and Jamal laughed like crazy. I asked them why. Jamal clued me in, "Kevin, you stupid! He’s Barry WHITE, not WIDE! Hahahaha!"
    
    I wondered, "Huh?"
    
    Shawna giggled and said, "White, not WIDE! Hehehe! You think you go to your school 'cause you FAT? Hahaha! It's WHITES only! Grown-up honkeys don't want us niggers around ‘em."
    
    I was flabbergasted! My jaw dropped and I couldn’t speak a moment. I coughed and wondered, "But ... but you can't be niggers! You're nice! You're my friends! My Dad has friends that look like you too!"
    
    Shawna's Mom yelled that dinner was ready. She said, "You're not s'posed to like us, but I'm glad you do." She patted my shoulder, then ran home.
    
    Jamal teased, "Kevin and Shawna, sittin' in a tree, K I S ..." My Mom called me in for dinner too. I was saved!
    
    For weeks I wondered, ‘How can Gramma and Mommy hate people just 'cause they look different? Even really nice people?’

    When I was seven, Mommy and Daddy started fighting a lot about money. Mommy wanted a bigger fridge and a new couch and chair for the living room. Daddy wanted to get a better car. For weeks they yelled at each other every night.
    
    Mommy decided she would get a job working at the same place as her friend Linda. The two of them would each work three days a week and take turns watching each other's kids. Kimmy was best friends with Linda's older daughter Sally already. Sally was almost thirteen and Kim was eleven.
    
    Mommy dropped us off at Linda's house for the first time and I met Linda's younger daughter, Naiomi. As soon as Linda introduced us, Naiomi grabbed my hand saying; "Let me show you my toys. I have puzzles, and games, and ..." She practically dragged me to her room.
    
    Within minutes, she became my new best friend. I couldn't say her name right, so I called her "Know Me". She giggled and said, "I like that. You're funny." We played together most of the day. We were both seven and even had the same birthday! It was like we were destined to be together.
    
    Kimmy and Sally did girly things, styling each other's hair, trying on each other's clothes, and whatever things girls do together.
