When she was finished eating, Suzy dragged herself back to her room and moped. Her mama was mad at her and Big Mama was mad. Suzy picked up one of her cock-eyed dolls and combed the stiff blond hair. She talked to the doll as she combed. The rosy cheeked doll smiled with one blue eye brilliant.

I ain't stuttin' ol' ugly one titty Big Mama. If she wasn't here I wouldn't have to go to no ol' stupid fun'ral. I could go to Astroworld. LaKeisha Ann said Astroworld was fun. They got all kinds of good stuff to eat. Good stuff like candy, soda water, pink and white ice cream. If you eat enough of that you'll be pretty as a white girl LaKeisha Ann said. They got hot dogs as long as Lyons Avenue. Don't have none of Big Mama's nasty kind of food like greens and ox tails. LaKeisha Ann say Astroworld would go out of business if they made people eat nasty oxtails. Besides oxtails is what boys is supposed to eat. They made out of them LaKeisha Ann says. LaKeisha Ann said there was fun things to ride too. You could drive a real car and if you bumped into somebody, they wouldn't jump out and kill you. You could go up in a tall round thing and see the whole world. Even the lions and tigers in Africa. Clowns walked around giving away balloons and food stamps. Sugar Face, the cutest rapper in the world is there kissing every girl and giving away flowers, candy, and hundred dollar bills!
