Malcolm Jordan is in a department store with his mother Mrs. Jordan as she shops for household items. Malcolm is the only son out of four daughters. His sisters are older. Mr. Jordan always ask Malcolm to accompany his mom when she goes out in public if he is unable to. Malcolm’s father trained Malcolm how to treat his mother like a queen and to protect her.
Malcolm:
What are you doing man! You do know you and I are the only two black men in here and you are acting very ignorant. Come on, brother! Please stop talking to your QUEEN like that!
Man: (Surprisingly)
Excuse me…
Malcolm: (Cutting him off)
You are making black men look bad right now! Your wife is pregnant and you are over here acting very mean to her. This is not acceptable at all, brother. I came all the way over here to ask you to stop yelling and cursing out your QUEEN, your wife. She is the mother of your kids! You are embarrassing her!
Man:
Who do you think you are talking to?
Malcolm:
YOU! I am speaking to you, my brother! Do you know what month it is? It is Black History Month and my favorite animal is the black panther. Do you know who you are? Kings protect and respect their QUEENS. Your wife is pregnant with your little girl. Your wife is your QUEEN! Do you want a man to treat your daughter the way you are treating your wife?
Man: (Pondering…humbly)
Wait…how did you know we are having a girl? How do you know we have three sons?
Malcolm:
You have been fussing over the coats. Your wife has three boy coats in her shopping cart...duh! God told me you were having a girl. God sent me over here to tell you to stop doing that to her. Do you want to lose her?
Man:
No, I do not want to lose her. It is just that I have been in this store for hours looking for winter coats. I am going to miss my game! She could have done this by herself or with one of her girlfriends.
Malcolm:
Brother, your complaints thirst no actions! My mama told me every woman is like my sister or mama and when I grow up, my woman will be like every sister and mother. They are our queens and we should treat them with the best care and respect! If you continue to treat your wife the way you are treating her you may lose her. God may take her away from you. I know you don't want that.
Man: (Amazed)
How old are you?
Malcolm:
I am ten years old but I will be eleven soon. I have to go now. My mama is calling me. Today is your lucky day to start fresh and new. Peace brother!
Man: (Talking to himself)
Thanks, little brother. You are definitely right. Thank you! I have to go over and apologize to my wife. I have to start treating her like the queen she is!
Sometimes the weight of a little person can influence your big mind. :0)
