Talk about something you inherited. (It could be an object, a physical attribute, a belief, etc.)
I was always told by m'Daddy that I got my Mama's simplicity. I don't know if he meant it in a mean way, but I don't think he was too far from th'truth.
I've always been a simple kind o'girl. Ain't never needed much, ain't never wanted much. I had friends growin' up who had dreams that were too big fer Wyomin'. That were too big fer our small town. After high school, they went an' left fer colleges and universities that was 'round the United States. Place I ain't never heard of before. But I didn't want none o'that.
I wanted what m'Mama had wanted growin' up. I wanted t'marry a man I loved, an' I wanted t'raise a family t'gether. I wanted t'cook 'em meals, an' sit out on th'porch with 'em when the sun started settin'. I wanted t'grow old, an' play with m'grandkids. Bake 'em cookies, an' spoil 'em, even when their Mama told me not to. I wanted a simple kind o'life, an' I know I got that from m'own Mama.
We didn't need nothin' big or grand, like some folk. We didn't never want none of it, neither. An' though a lot of that didn't work out as I'd hoped, I didn't never lose touch with what how my Mama raised me.
