Oh, I'm feeling vulnerable.

With my bestie.

With my bestie.

Listen, feed it to me.

Gossip is like ancestral for me. Like it's in my DNA. My grandmother raised me. I grew up in the South. I'm from Virginia. And my grandmother had 10 kids. I like to think I'm her honorary 11th child because I stay with her during the weekdays. And her having 10 kids, of course, there was mess. Of course, there was like interpersonal messiness.

It is chaos. So like her kids will call her and be like, mom, so-and-so did this. And she's just like, what? And then they would hang up. And then like moments later, the person that they were having a problem with would call my grandmother. That's beautiful. They was like, mom, did you hear that? And she was like, no, baby, what's going on?

And she was like, no, baby, what's going on?

Even though the other kid literally just called her moments before. So I was sitting there and I was getting the tea. I'll be watching cartoons and I'll like turn it down a little bit. So it was effort. Like I didn't have a remote. So I had to go to the TV and like turn it down.

And I would just kind of be listening. And then when they, like, come to the house, my grandmother was, like, big on Sunday dinners, like, shit like that. They would come in, and I'm like, ooh, I know you said this about this person, and I know this about that person. And I'm, like, trying to, like, decipher who's telling the truth.

And then sometimes my grandmother, like, when she was making coffee and she was feeling chatty, she would, like, talk to me about the gossip. And I'm like, ooh, grandma, what do you think? Honestly, I was producing then.

You're just like, oh, I'm at the big kids' table. I felt like a grown-up. I don't see gossip as like a negative thing. It is storytelling. And it is no surprise that I enjoy it.
