Things Black Mothers Say
When we get in here, don’t touch anything.
On top of not being able to touch certain things in your house, you can’t even breathe on things outside of your house. No matter if you are in a store or at someone’s house, this saying applies everywhere. The last thing your mother wants is for you to touch something and break it and she has to pay for it. To avoid this before you even get inside she turns to you and quickly let’s you know, don’t touch anything!
