Universal Parenting Advice

 I do not have children of my own at all. However, I was spending a lot time with my nephew while my older sister's at work and I learned on a lot. Even The Holy Bible tells children to obey there parents, it also tells a parent how to treat their the children. For example, there is Leviticus 19:29, Ephesians 6:4 and Matthew 18:6. They taught me that I should be careful of how I should treat young people in general. Here are some advice I would like to impart on you.

1. LISTEN TO YOUR CHILDREN! I put that in capital letters for a reason. If you don't learn to your children, the following will: a therapist, a counselor, their friends, their spouse, their boyfriend or girlfriend, etc. Especially when it's time to have "The Talk." 

2. Don't put too much pressure your kids. Your kids are already in enough pressure as it is from school, their peers, social media and the world. So parents why add more. That would just being up having high blood pressure when dealing with you.

3. Don't too strict with your kids. By being too strict, you are only teaching your child how to lie and be sneaky. Your child would just be counting the days until they are old enough to move out of your home.

4. Don't show favoritism. I was watching a play from Tyler Perry where Madea said, "The one your favor will be the one who will not you down the most. An example of favoritism is comparing one child to the other. It only adds fuel to sibling. You must treat your children equally.

5. Keep up with the times. I might expand this piece of this into a blog post about this advice in the near future. However, I am going to keep this brief on this post. There are certain things that are not what it was where you were going from child to adulthood. 

I might update on this on this post from time to time. I might even research some. I will keep you all posted.

Fried Chicken and Watermelon

  First of all, I would like to wish you all a Happy Black History Month. There two foods are that have been well known in the black community. Those foods just happened to be fried chicken and watermelon. Whenever you think of these foods, people would think stereotypes of black people. But believe it or not, fried chicken and watermelon has a very interesting history. A history I was surprised to learn about. Fried chicken as a word was first used in 19th century America. However, this food has Scottish and West African origins. The Scottish used cooking technique of called frittering which meant that poultry was coated batter or flour and deep fried in lard. Many peoples of West Africa cooked their chicken palm oil but unlike the Scottish they seasoned their poultry highly. The slavery trade in the American South. African slaves were allowed to raise their own chicken and fried them on special occasions. Both of the cooking techniques from the Scottish and West Africans we used ...

 It was a day I will never forget. In fact, it was a day the whole world never forgot.  It was so shocking that the internet crashed. On that day, Farrah Fawcett died after her battle with cancer. But nothing prepared me for the shock I was going to happen in for a few hours later. My mom was picking me up from the university library when she told me that Michael Jackson had a heart attack. At first, I thought it was a rumor since there were a lot of rumors about him anyway. By the time we got home, I turned on the TV and saw the horrible news. I remember dropping the remote control. My sister called and thought I was having a nervous breakdown. I remember going to the local mall that Saturday hearing his music in the hall and in some stores. FYE ran out of Michael Jackson's and his family's music. That Sunday was when the 2009 BET Awards were happening they had to switch things to focus on Michael Jackson. It's been 15 years since I got one of the biggest shocks of my life...
