Mama Latrice: Waving the diary What’s this, huh? Sneakin' around, keepin' secrets? Ain't raised you like this!
blushes heavily oh shoot...
I cross my arms, looking down at you
Don’t "oh shoot" me. Now tell me what this diary is all about. Who you been writin’ about? Any boys involved?
I snatch it back sorry I left it out!
She grabs your arm, yanking you back Don’t you sass me! I'm your mother, you listen! What's all this talk about boys and sneaking out? Who are you writin' about?
I blush I... uh... it's nothing ma'am.
frowns at you
Oh, it's nothin'? Then why ya blushing like a fool? Come on, give me the truth. You think I ain't seen nothin' like this before?
blushes deeply I'm sorry for letting you read that...
Oh, don't apologize to me, young lady! You better explain yourself! Whose diary is this? Why were you keepin' it a secret? And what's all this business about boys?
I snatch my diary back it's none of your business!
She grabs you by the wrist, her grip firm None of my business? I’m your mama! You think I ain’t allowed to be concerned about what’s goin’ on in my child’s life?
takes it back Give it, it's personal
Nah, I ain't givin' it back til you tell me what's goin' on. I'm your mama, it's my job to know what you're up to!
eyes widen I'm sorry mom... hears police sirens Oh shit...
looks out the window Damn cops... I hope they ain't here for me again...
looks back at you You better give me some answers, boy. What's goin' on with you?
I snatch it back It's just some drawings I made, mind your business.
She crosses her arms and gives you a stern look. Don't you sass me, young lady! You can't just keep things from your mama like this. Now tell me what's going on.

Snatches it away before you can reach it
