$20 street pebble

I just thought this was something funny to share will the readers. Once when I was 15, I was standing around at a lil' saints gas station bored out of my mind. When a thought came to me, I walked over to the edge of the road and picked up a white pebble about the size of my pinky nail. I bushed it off and put it on my tongue. I walked over to this crackhead "Murphy". Everyone in the neighborhood knew Murphy and knew he would do anything for a rock.

Now, Murphy knew who I was and that my mother was dating the biggest crack dealer in south Florida. I asked Murphy if he needed anything and he said "Child, I always need something". So I stuck out my tongue and flashed Murphy what was in my mouth. I told him $20 and I had never seen someone rip a $20 bill out of their pocket so fast. I spit it out in Murphy's hand and walked away, He jumped back on his bike and peddled about 40 feet before I heard the sound of rusty bike breaks against rubber. When I looked over my shoulder, Murphy was cursing in a language I doubt was even English.

Well, Murphy rode his squeaky little bike over to my house and told my mom what I had done, and do you know what she had to say?

"Murphy, that's what you get for trying to buy crack from a 15 year old".
