“To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou.”

So I need to read a Banned Book.

Erin said “I wrote down the ones I own.”

“I know.” Said Jen, looking for a banned book.

“Well, The Giver. That was on the list right, Erin?”

“Yeah, I think so. I am pretty sure *I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings* is on the list…I have that somewhere too.”

“Mmm. But I don’t want to read that one. I don’t think I like her.”

This is where Erin, sighs, with delightful disdain over Jennifer’s ignorant but silly dumbness.

“She’s NOT who you THINK she is…”

(Jennifer knows this…but allows Erin to continue.)

“The person who spoke at graduation was…”

“I know, Nikki Giovanni, but I always think she is Maya Angelou…”

Aside: I DESPISE this woman for speaking at MY GRADUATION…she pretty much told me that because I was a woman I could NOT be REPUBLICAN. And this PISSED ME OFF. I very much dislike this woman and HATE that my college had her speak…

“And then she is all Oprah books and that annoys me.”

“And the third strike against her is Sula, even though I KNOW she didn’t write that one either, that was Toni Morrison. But I think of her as the author of Sula. And I didn’t like that book.”

“I like Toni Morrison, but I didn’t really like Sula that much…”
(Sula was the book we all had to read for LSS class our freshman year.)

“Yeah, well I don’t think I like Maya Angelou anyhow.”

So there! Anyone dare to defy THAT logic? I think not…poor Maya.
