Book Review: Grace After Midnight, by India

In this next section, we learn more about Snoop's childhood. She played with dolls. Shelia was Barbie and Snoop was Ken. They played house, mama and daddy. Snoop said she was the most developed girls at 5 or 6 because she already had a "little booty." Shelia was her first real girlfriend. Thier song was L L Cool J "I Need Love." She said it was kind of funny, her dreaming of being the man of her family as a little girl. She would often go to this girl's house and would have sleep overs. The girl would always pretend to be asleep and in then Snoop would mess with her. Snoop knew the girl wasn't sleep, But she acted as she was. Sex gets people confused, and crazy.


This next chapter is talking about church and how she use to go to church so much. When Snoop was younger, she used to love going to church. But as she got older, she wanted to be outside more and to experiment new things. She would love to go to the corner store and get candy, to just sit outside her mama's stairs at her house. She would go to the beauty parlor, and the liqour store where old winos "spun their stories about back in the day." 


She used to go to her friend Curtis' house across the street where they both liked to watch Knight Riders. One day Snoop had a dream about being a Knight Rider: they couldn't die, they could go through fire, nothing could stop or destroy them. Then one day her friend Curtis called her a "Butch" an she beat him up. She was beating him so bad that random people had to break the fight up. 


Some months later she had surgery on her eye. She had to wear glasses for two years straight. She would always break her glasses and have to get new ones.
