EBONICS WORKS FOR ME!

Can you imagine working for the Department of Family Services? Well here's a story to rock your mind, funny too. Yes this a true story. No this didn't take place in Wyoming  cuz we don't have lots of African American folks. So a women comes in with her 4 children to get signed up for state services. After going through the older kids names and age, the DFS employee asks about the youngest child, a boy. 

DFS Employee: "What's his name Ms.?" 
Women: "Shi-thead". 
DFS Employee: "That's unusual, where did you find that name.?"
Women:  "In a bathroom stall at a bar." 
DFS Employee:  "Ms. can you spell that for me."
Women: "Sure, it's SHITHEAD."
See that's the difference between ebonics and phonics. Poor little guy!
