Stuck on Stupid - In honor of Carla Lucius-Meek's debut novel
I'm typesetting Carla's debut novel and I must admit it strikes a few nerves every now and then. Her main character Tia, reminds me of a lot of people I know, myself included.
So in honor of Carla's debut novel (set for 10/31/06 release), I'm listing 10 Ways to know that you are stuck on stupid and parked on dumb!
10. If you have never been to your man/woman's house but ya'll have been together over a year - you might be stuck on stupid.
9. If you are introduced to his cousin "Kelly" but his Mama don't know who she is - you might be stuck on stupid.
8. If you've been engaged for 5 years but haven't received a ring or wedding date because he's working on his committment issues - yeah, you might be stuck on stupid.
7. If you are leasing an 06' 745 BMW and pulling up to an apartment complex or worse your Mama's house when it's time to go "home." - You, my friend, are stuck on stupid.
6. If you just let him stick the head in because you can't get pregnant (or HIV) if he ain't stroking - whew, girlfriend you are stuck on stupid.
5. If his 3 bestfriends are gay, he hangs in the gay bars, has the rainbow in the window of his car and you walked in on him spooning the same gay friend who was too drunk to drive home, so he crashed at your man's house, and he always wants to hit it anally but you believe him when he say's he ain't gay - I have a strong suspicion that you might be stuck on stupid.
4. If your rent ain't paid, your WIC has run out so the baby don't have any formula or cream 'a' wheat, you sold all the foodstamps, you don't have gas for the hooptie, but you go get your hair braided for $175 - You ARE stuck on stupid.
3. If she keeps saying, "Would you pay my carnote?" every month (and you do) but when your car goes in the shop and you need a ride, she tells you she can't because her "ex-boyfriend that is now her bestfriend" has her car - Boo-Boo, you might be stuck on stupid.
2. If you keep ignoring the "red" notice that your lights haven't been paid but on the night of your "Rent" party - they shut off in the middle of "Turn out the lights" by Teddy Pendergrass and you want to call DTE screaming and hollering - You just might be stuck on stupid.
1. If you believe him when he says "It was a mistake and I'll never hit you again. You just made me mad." You are stuck on stupid and parked on dumb!

All ten of your stuck on stupid are so familiar to me with many of the women I have assisted in my field. But 4 & 5 takes the cake every time.
You really are a fool Lynnette! That was hilarious and the sad thing is some dummy is responding with these answers right now!
Good lord Erica, you sure know my history.
History, I said! I ain't stuck no more! :)
