This is an I-Heart podcast.

Coming up at the top of the hour, right about four minutes after, it's my strawberry letter for today.

The subject is, vengeance is mine.

We'll get into that in just a bit, yeah.

Script.

But right now, the nephew is here with today's prank phone call. What you got for? It's nap. Nappy hair. Let's go to it. Come on, Kat. Nappy hair. Hello. Hello, I'm trying to get Francis. This is she. Hey, Francis. How you doing? My name is Darrell. Della. Our kids, they go to G. Oh, yeah, yeah. Your daughter is Kaylin, right? Yes. Okay, my son is DJ, Darrell Jr. I think I may have met you at the beginning of the school year. You remember meeting me, Darrell? Oh, I met a lot of people, but I'm sorry, I can't place you right now. Okay, all right, no problem. Hey, listen, I was getting your call. You know,

there's only a handful of black kids at the school, you know, being in a private school and all.

And we, the black parents, we all got together and had a meeting a couple nights ago.

Okay, you said all the black parents, okay, I wasn't there. Why wasn't I called?

Well, we actually had a meeting about your daughter, Kalen.

Well, what about Kalen?

Is there a problem at school that she's crazy or something?

I don't even know about what's going on with?

Well, actually, you know, we feel privileged to be, you know, like I said, there's only a handful of blacks,

and we try to carry ourselves in a dignified way, our presence, our attitude, the way we handle ourselves.

And, you know, Kayla's doing very good in school from what I understand and very nice with all the rest of the kids.

She's getting along.

That's not the problem.

What we're trying to get is the grooming of Kalen, you know, Kalen has these braids and what we were trying to do is, is give, you know, we had a meeting about it. We wanted to, hold up, hold up, hold up. Did you just say her grooming, something's wrong with her grooming? Well, it's not necessarily her clothing. Of course, you know, the kids wear the uniform.

But the braids, you know, we want to represent ourselves with a lot of dignity, the way we carry

ourselves.

We want to be, you know, pretty much nice and clean, spitting polish.
