From The Raymond Series: 99 Prayers


Raymond, remember when granny was sick an' i pray fo she all de time? Well, i count up de prayers. Was 99 in all.
I di' want help granny mek coconut buns an' lick de spoon an' de bowl.
You remember too how mommy seh dat God tek granny?
Raymond, you ever hear anything so stupid in you life?
You really believe God tek granny from she room in de middle of de night when we was too busy sleepin' to watch out fo she?
You mean the sunday school God would do such a thing?
Dat is like thiefin'. Dat is a sin. An' dat's why i don' believe it.
But just in case is true, God betta bring granny back before he an' all end up in de hot place.
