Black Entertainment : Nicki

[skuderjaymes]

There are other shows that are educational for her to watch that i let her see. But when i'm doing something she has to entertain herself.

Why does she have to entertain herself? What will happen if she doesn't ?

She has books, a computer and camera,...she's also on the track team, and baseball team at her school. She just finished her basketball season and got a certificate and a trophy for playing. Everyday, I encourage her to sign up for things at school so she can stay busy.

do you have any children?

do you have any children?

Yes. And no, I don't have a TV. No cable bill. No BET. No no no. Entertainment is a very low priority in my house. My children don't know who Nicki Minaj is. And they will never find out from me. Maybe some friend will introduce them to her music, but I won't. They know who Miles Davis is though. They know who John Coltrane is.. And Wayne Shorter.. And Ralph Ellison.. Even Jimi Hendrix.. We all play piano and guitar.. And we all write creatively and are well read. My oldest son read Moby Dick at 9. I suppose he could have been playing playstation.. If we had one.. But since we don't, he plays Geometry instead.. And Basketball.. And Chess..

My father bought them a Wii for Christmas.. Which we don't celebrate.. They play at their grandparents house when they visit.. But they are not so into it. Too occupied with actual things to engage fully with fantasy.

So.. Do you have kids?

Since no one asked me--I'll answer: I don't.
